Ligue 1 Defending champions LOSC Lille Métropole eyeing Ghana International Lee Addy
Rudi Garcia, coach of champions http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lille-OSC-c39800, is keeping tabs on Ghanaian defender, Lee Addy. Lille OSC are desperate to retain their Ligue 1 Championelle next season and are also going to compete in the UEFA Champions League.
Lee Addy, currently on the books of Serbian Super Liga giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 player has appeared in 19 matches for the Serbian Club and is a key centre-back player in their squad.
Talking to daily Le Parisien, the Ghana International and cousin of former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcel-c23507 Desailly, expressed his willingness to join Stade Lille-Métropole.
Having won Ligue 1 Championships after nearly 56 years, Les Dogues are looking to continue winning ways in the upcoming campaign as well. Coach Garcia will have some trouble in the defence as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emerson-c12442 has left for Portuguese giants Benfica for a transfer fee of 2.5 million Euros.
Although the French tactician will be happy to have the veteran defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mathieu-Debuchy-c24682.
The current squad has two left backs, the ever loyal Mathieu Debuchy and the former FC Metz defender Franck Beria. If LOSC decide to sign the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Black-Stars-c38646 defender, Bonnart will then find himself competing for the right-back position.
Signing Lee Addy will require careful consideration, since he is a key player for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cruz-Azul-c38869.
Mongongou is still young and inexperienced whereas the Chilean international, Ponce, has a lot of experience of playing at the top level, which makes him a more appealing option to Les Dogues.
Time is running out for Garcia in order to make a final decision as the transfer window is drawing to a close. Although the left-footed Ghanaian will give an extra depth in the defence, his availability in the key matches remains a concern and Lille might be better off signing the experienced 28-year-old Waldo Ponce.
