Lille's youth go into exile to scrounge up minutes. It's been a week since LOSC announced the departure on loan of Ousmane Touré (19 years old) for Valenciennes, resident of National:
“My integration is going really well. I have really nice teammates who made me feel welcome”confides the native of Lille who is living his first experience far from his Lille habits.
“I'm not going to say that I feel disoriented but… Let's say that it makes me feel good to discover something new”continues Ousmane Touré in an interview given to the Valencia club's communications team. The latter, who logged 173 minutes of play with the Mastiffs during the first six months of competition, left his club, LOSC, but wants to use this experience to grow. “I will prepare myself to come back to Lille even better. I accepted this loan to take time, discover what the level is in National, accumulate experience and come back in great shape. »
During this 2024-2025 season, the central defender went through all the emotions, from National 3 to the Champions League: “The Champions League… It’s just incredible. The Champions League is a competition that every player dreams of playing in, so to have had this chance to participate in it is incredible”confides the one who faced Fenerbahçe and Atlético de Madrid. He is now applying for a starting place in the Valenciennes squad, which is preparing to face Vincent Burlet's Mans FC in the Coupe de France:
