Lille pondering on a possible replacement for Gervinho – Ligue 1 news
Ligue 1 club Lille are pondering over a possible replacement for their striker Gervinho if he leaves the side in the next transfer window.
Cote d’Ivoire international and Lille striker Gervinho has become one of the hottest young players in Europe in the current 2010-11 season. His electrifying performances have not gone unnoticed and many clubs are interested in signing the mercurial striker
as soon as the transfer window re-opens.

joining the club after the end of the current campaign.
The Ivorian media is speculating that striker Gohi Bi is being considered a good replacement for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gervinho-c14755.
The 20-year old striker is plying his trade at Belgian side Standard de Liege, a club that he joined in the start of April 2009. Technically gifted and blessed with explosive pace, the former L’ASEC Mimosas player scored 8 goals in 18 games and was awarded
the title of the best young player in the Jupiter League in December 2010.
It is now believed that the youngster wants to move on to another league after the current season ends. The youngster is contracted with ‘Les Rouches’ until the end of 2014 but it seems that he will definitely seek a move elsewhere soon.
Furthermore, it seems that Standard will not be making it to Europe in the next season after their mediocre showing in the league. This may also act in Lille’s favour as the Ligue 1 leaders are almost guaranteed European football and a place in the Champions
League if they maintain their lead on top of the table.
