French champions sign striker from Nantes
Lille have made their first signing of the summer with the capture of Ronny Rodelin.
Last season's double winners announced on Monday that Nantes striker Rodelin had arrived on a four-year deal.
The rangy 21-year-old joined Nantes from Rodez in 2008 before being loaned to Troyes in 2009-10.
Rodelin, who hails from Reunion, then scored five goals in 15 matches for Nantes in the second division last season.
"Coming to LOSC is a great satisfaction for me," he said.
Good company
"I know that I still have lots of work to do but here at the Domaine de Luchin (Lille's training base), I'll be in the right company to progress."
Lille ended a 56-year wait for major honours by winning the Ligue 1 title and French Cup last season.
However, coach Rudi Garcia has since lost centre-back Adil Rami to Valencia and midfielder Yohan Cabaye to Newcastle.
