LOSC should strengthen in the coming hours, next days perhaps with the arrival of Hatem Ben Arfa. Free of any contract since the end of his adventure in Bordeaux last May, the attacking midfielder has already been in Lille since yesterday. He is expected to sign when Yusuf Yazici is officially loaned to CSKA Moscow. Jocelyn Gourvennec did not hide in a press conference the future arrival of the French international (15 selections, 2 buses). The coach of the Mastiffs also specifies that Ben Arfa is rather physically fit.
“We already exchanged remotely last week. We saw each other yesterday. He is on the spot. We are waiting for the green light. We hope it happens quickly that he can join us, started the technician on the eve of Lille-Lorient, a match counting for the 20th day of Ligue 1. He arrived yesterday. We manage it individually for the moment. From what we have seen of him, he is done. (…) His physic ? I will do things in order. It’s something we can discuss once he’s signed. He looks good. Here we are on the eve of the match, I don’t want us to get the wrong objective. We can talk about Hatem later. »
