Parisian supporters discovered him as a left back, who seemingly gave a real helping hand to PSG during 2 seasons between 2019 and 2021. They must have been surprised to see him line up as a right winger with LOSC against Sturm Graz in the Champions League. A tactical choice, also dictated by absences, signed Bruno Genesio, which paid off since the Dutchman scored his team's 2nd goal. Recruited late by Lille this summer, following Ismaily's injury, Bakker has already convinced everyone in Lille. And this while his loan turned out to be rather unusual, and with the validation of Kylian Mbappé, as told by Lille president Olivier Létang in the mixed zone.

“It happened quickly, ultimately, because at the end of August, there was Ismaily's injury, so we had to react quickly. There was the draw, and Mitch took his car. He drove four and a half hours so that we could spend a long time together in Monaco on the sidelines of the draw. We knew he was a player who had a lot of qualities. And then, I called Kylian (Mbappé), who told me a lot of good things about him also in terms of personality. He told me he was loved by everyone in the locker room. He’s a very funny person, actually”slipped Létang, happy to have made this good move. Bakker, 24, is on loan to LOSC from Atalanta Bergamo, with whom he is linked until 2027.
