  • Lille will separate from one of its attackers by October 5, the date of the end of the transfer window.

  • Three attackers are likely to leave: Luiz Araujo, Jonathan Ikoné and Yusuf Yazici.

The suspense does not exist.

Whatever happens by the end of the transfer window set this year for October 5, health crisis requires, Losc will lose one of its attackers.

“I have a strong offensive sector.

From what I can know, it is envisaged that there will be a start in this sector, ”recognizes Christophe Galtier, coach of Lille, 5th in Ligue 1, who receives Nantes this Friday (9 pm) at the stadium Pierre Mauroy.

So who will be the lucky (or not) elected?

David and Yilmaz just arrived, Bamba relaunched, the identity of the starter is now played between Luiz Araujo, Jonathan Ikoné and Yusuf Yazici.

Analysis of departure probabilities.

Luiz Araujo: 60% chance of leaving

Paradoxically, he is the fittest Lille striker at the moment.

Author of the northern club's last two goals in Ligue 1, Luiz Araujo has never seemed so confident as he is now.

Arrived in January 2017 in the North, the 24-year-old Brazilian, who has two years of contract left, has never really had his chance as a starter at Losc.

A situation that should push him to leave despite his jump in recent weeks.

Coveted abroad, the player, who wishes to stay, does not hide the possibility of a departure either.

“I'm not happy to be a replacement.

With what I am currently showing, I am proving that I can start at Losc.

I want to stay but if I did not have any opportunities, I will discuss with whom it may concern what will be best for me and for the club, ”admits the striker who clearly does not close the door.

Jonathan Ikoné: 30% chance of leaving

For a long time he was an almost certain leaver to other skies.

If everything can still happen in the home stretch of the transfer window, Jonathan Ikoné should ultimately stay at Losc.

The prospect of the Euro at the end of the season encourages the French international not to take the slightest risk by going abroad.

“Jonathan's goal was never to leave this year.

We never spoke with another club.

There is no point in rushing, ”recently said those around him in the columns of

La Voix du Nord. 

Yusuf Yazici: 10% chance

A year after his arrival, he still has not convinced.

Between poor shape, profile ill-suited to the Lille game and especially rupture of the cruciate ligaments of the right knee last December, Yusuf Yazici is dragging his sentence at Losc.

Recruited at a gold price (17 million euros), the 23-year-old Turkish attacking midfielder has not yet adapted to Ligue 1. A substitute since the start of the season, the player could be loaned to fetch time game. But this is not the priority option for northern leaders.
