In recent news, Lille have announced that their key defender has been sold to raise funds for offensive reinforcements in the January transfer window.
The player in question is none other than Nicolas Pepe, who has been a key player for the club this season and has helped them secure top spot in the French league. However, with the club now looking to strengthen their attack, they have decided to offload Pepe in order to free up space in the squad.
Pepe's departure will be a significant blow to Lille, as he has been one of their most consistent performers this season. However, it is believed that the club will use the funds generated from his sale to sign new attackers in the January transfer window.
This move comes at a time when Lille are in need of some fresh talent in their attacking department. With only three goals scored in their last five games, the team needs more firepower up front if they want to continue their impressive form.
It remains to be seen whether Lille can replace Pepe with another quality attacker in the January transfer window, but the fact that they are willing to sell him highlights the importance of strengthening their squad in the winter transfer market. With just under two months left until the deadline, Lille will hope to find the right player to fill the void left by Pepe's departure.
