Lille's Ayyoub Bouaddi is set to join Manchester City, leaving the club on Sunday. The transfer is expected to be worth more than €100m, providing Lille with the opportunity to find a replacement. Foot Mercato reports that Gjivai Zechiel, a 22-year-old Dutch U21 international currently playing for Feyenoord, is the priority to replace the Moroccan star.
Zechiel has already scored three goals and provided one assist in three games this season. While Lille's interest in Zechiel is not new, a new bid is anticipated to be submitted during the current transfer window. Zechiel, too, appears eager to move to Lille during this window.
