Lille sign free agent Arnaud Bodart as back-up goalkeeper
Lille OSC have announced the signing of former Standard Liege goalkeeper Arnaud Bodart (27). Bodart was a free agent after spending the second half of the last Ligue 2 campaign at FC Metz, which have been promoted to Ligue 1 after defeating Reims in the promotion play-offs. Bodart has signed a two-year deal with Bruno Genesio's Les Dogues. Lille were in the market for an understudy to France international Lucas Chevalier – who has leapfrogged Rennes' Brice Samba in the hierarchy of France goalies – considering Vito Mannone left the club upon the expiry of his contract. Bodart, who has already been called up to play for Belgium's national team, will wear the No. 1 jersey with the Ligue 1 side. GFFN | Bastien Cheval

Lille consider move for former Metz goalkeeper
There could be a goalkeeper merry-go-round in Ligue 1 this summer with multiple clubs in the market for new No.1s and backup shotstoppers. As reported by L'Équipe, FC Metz are in talks to sign Maxime Dupé (32) from OGC Nice. The experienced Frenchman has just one year remaining on his deal with Le Gym, who are open to a departure. There, he would replace Arnaud Bodart (27), who is now being linked with a move to Lille OSC, where he would be the understudy to Lucas Chevalier. Advertisement Lille are looking to replace Vito Mannone, who left the club following the expiry of his deal at the end of last season. As per L'Équipe, LOSC could turn to Bodart, who is coming off the back of a short stint at Metz. The Belgian would, therefore, arrive on a free transfer. The No.1 at Lille, Lucas Chevalier, is not certain to remain at the club either. His future is in large part dependent on Gianluigi Donnarumma and whether he signs a contract extension at Paris Saint-Germain. GFFN | Luke Entwistle
