The 25-year-old full-back joined Saint-Etienne in 2015 and became a regular perform of the first team last term, playing 25 Ligue 1 games to help the club to a top-half end.
Manchester United and West Ham United had been credited with an interest in the player. However he has now signed a deal which will keep him at Lille until 2022.
“I’m happy to be here wearing this jersey.
I look forward to being on the pitch and evolving by working with Marcelo Bielsa,”
“He is a great coach known throughout the world, who knows how to develop his players and push them to their limits.”
–he told the club’s official website.
The Ligue 1 side will start a new Ligue 1 campaign at home to Nantes on August 6.
Meanwhile, Leeds United are looking to sign Manchester United youngster Cameron Borthwick-Jackson on a permanent agreement, as reported by the Daily Mail.
The story claims that Leeds have recognised the full -back as a perfect successor for Charlie Taylor, who has departed for Burnley.
Borthwick-Jackson spent the last term on loan at Wolves, however, could manage just seven games.
The 20-year-old has a deal until 2020 with the Red Devils.
