SEVILLA FC AND LOSC REACH AN AGREEMENT FOR THE TRANSFER OF IBRAHIM AMADOU

Sevilla FC and LOSC Lille have reached an agreement for the transfer of Ibrahim Amadou. Amadou will arrive at the Club at the start of next week for a medical and to sign his contract. He will sign for the next four seasons.

Amadou - a Cameroonian centre-midfielder with a French passport - is a versatile asset who has also been deployed as a centre-back and right full-back. He was grown in AS Nancy's academy, a club where he coincided with Clément Lenglet and eventually left at 22 years old to join Lille in the summer of 2015.

In Pierre-Mauroy's side - as well as playing alongside Sebastien Corchia for two seasons - he became a first-team regular, playing 102 matches in three seasons, 87 of which came in Ligue 1. Despite his youth - just 25 years old - his growth and continued importance at Lille took him to captaincy of the French side.
