While potentially waiting for a high-profile signing like Olivier Giroud, Lille has secured a new goalkeeper. The French club officially announced the arrival of 27-year-old Belgian goalkeeper Arnaud Bodart, formerly of Metz. Bodart joins on a free transfer, highlighting a smart, low-cost operation that adds potentially valuable reliability and experience. The goalkeeper has signed a three-year contract with Les Dogues, valid until June 2027.
Bodart developed his career at Standard Liegi, where he made over 150 appearances in league and cup competitions. He later moved to Metz, helping the club gain promotion to the French top flight. His consistently solid performances also earned him call-ups to the senior Belgium national team.
