Lille close in on deal for Lucas Chevalier’s replacement

Lille OSC are close to finding their successor to Lucas Chevalier (23), following the France international completing his move to Paris Saint-Germain, as per information from Foot Mercato

Lille are reportedly nearing an agreement with Eyüpspor Kulübü for the signing of Berke Özer (25) on a €4.5m transfer (with bonuses of €500,000), with the goalkeeper set to travel this afternoon to Lille.Özer became a Turkish international this year when he made his debut for the national side during a friendly against the USA. 

He’ll have big shoes to fill if he completes his move to Les Dogues. Chevalier was a fan favourite in the north, having been born in the city and then joining the club as a thirteen-year-old. Chevalier was one of the stars of Lille’s run to the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds, with the club being eliminated in the Last 16 by Borussia Dortmund.
