French newspaper L’Equipe reveals that Ivorian forward Salomon Kalou is set to sign a deal with Lille.
The 26-year-old has been a free agent since his contract at Stamford Bridge expired on 30th June, but he didn’t need a lot of time to find a new club.
According to L’Equipe, Kalou arrived in Lille yesterday evening, accompanied by his brother and agent Bonaventure, the former PSG player.
The player agreed a four-year deal with the French giants and after successfully passing a medical he is now expected to sign for les Dogues.
Kalou will receive a large signing bonus seeing that he arrives on a free transfer and he is expected to replace Joe Cole in the starting line-up, after the Englishman returned to Liverpool.
The Ivorian forward will see a move to Stade Lille Metropole as an opportunity to get his career back on track following several disappointing seasons at Stamford Bridge.
