Lille sign Brest hotshot Roux
Published: 17 Jan 2012 - 21:46:32
In-form Brest striker Nolan Roux got the move to a higher profile club he desired on Tuesday when he signed for French champions Lille for 8 million euros.
The 23-year-old former France Under-21 striker - who had been linked with a move to Bundesliga giants Schalke 04 last summer - signed a four-and-a-half year contract with Lille.
"I learnt of my transfer to Lille after training this morning," he said.
"I didn't want to pose myself the same questions that I did last summer. I have experienced some unforgettable moments here."
Roux has scored 25 goals in 80 appearances for Brest - 10 in Ligue 1 - since he joined from Lens in 2009 - Lens don't lose out either as they receive half of the fee.
