Mulumba set for medical after signing three-year deal

Lorient have continued their summer recruitment drive with the signing of youngster Remi Mulumba from third division Amiens, subject to a medical. Mulumba has signed a three-year contract with the Ligue 1 side and now only needs to complete the final details of his move. The 17-year-old midfielder has played for France's junior teams and Lorient beat off stiff competition from other Ligue 1 sides to his signature. Mulumba is Lorient's fifth signing of the summer and joins fellow new recruits Mathias Autret, Alaixys Romao and Bruno Ecuele Manga, who have all signed four-year deals, and Francis Coquelin, who is on loan from Arsenal. Arnold Mvuemba, who helped Lorient to a seventh-place finish last season, has also signed a four-year contract with the club.
