On Wednesday, striker Olivier Jiru was presented as a player of the "Lille" club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The 38-year-old French player received the number 9 jersey and will play under this number. Previously, Jonathan David played under the number 9 at "Lille".
This striker left the club due to the expiration of his contract at the end of the 2024/2025 season. David is currently on the verge of signing a contract with the Italian club "Juventus".
Olivier Jiru returned to Europe after playing for a year with the "Los Angeles" team in the MLS league in the USA. Last season, the "Lille" team finished in fifth place in the French championship.
This result gave them the opportunity to qualify for the group stage of the Europa League. The team aims to achieve high results in the new season as well.
Olivier Jiru is expected to provide significant assistance to "Lille" with his vast experience.
