Key squad member
The 20-year-old midfielder, part of France's UEFA European Under-19 Championship-winning side of 2005, has become an indispensable member of the squad at the Villeneuve d'Ascq since making his debut just over 12 months ago. He has made 20 Ligue 1 appearances, and featured twice in Lille's maiden UEFA Champions League run earlier this season, including a substitute's cameo in the 1-0 victory against Manchester United FC. He will hope to have a similar impact in the UEFA Cup, when Lille face FC Shakhtar Donetsk in the Round of 32.
