Appears to be the worst kept secret in football that they are the French club that Bill Foley is purchasing, so might as well have their own thread.

Kris Temple has said on Solent that he believes the deal could be wrapped up as early as this week and one of their best players is a target in the transfer window.

Seems the Belgium club fell through too
 
Potentially good for us, but you’d be pretty pissed off if you were a Lorient fan. Club is taken over by someone whose priority is clearly another club, and promptly sells your best player to them.

The idea must be over time to also make them a better squad than they are currently…otherwise they won’t act as much of a feeder club to us?
 
With ten goals to his name in 14 league games this season and his team still well-placed to fight for European football, Terem Moffi and Lorient’s emerging group of young talent has taken Ligue 1 by storm.

Even PSG had to dig deep to find three points at the Stade du Moustoir earlier this season after Moffi’s powerful second-half equaliser before the 23-year-old almost added a second, hitting the crossbar.

Moffi is one of the most promising strikers seen in Ligue 1 for some time but his talent and physical ability may have still been underestimated. The Nigerian is a 6’2, 82kg, left-footed striker who plays in tight spaces like a futsal player but remains a danger in the air, a potentially lethal combination. However, Moffi not only scores goals, he is excellent in build-up play and interchanging with his teammates.
