Moussilou linked to England

Lille striker Matt Moussilou is believed to be attracting interest from England.

Lille striker Matt Moussilou is believed to be attracting interest from England according to reports emanating from France.

The 24-year-old is thought to be ready to seek pastures new after a disappointing campaign, despite the fact he is under contract at Lille until 2010.

It has been claimed that several English clubs have expressed an interest in the former France Under-21 international, although Lille are keeping these names disclosed at present.

However, having recently completed a deal to bring in Souleymane Youla, coach Claude Puel is ready to off-load Moussilou in a bid to balance the books.

In the past Moussilou has been linked with a move to both Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna but it remains to be seen if either club will resurrect tentative interest in the summer.
