Lille sign Turkish forward Burak Yilmaz

French football club Lille acquired Turkish forward Burak Yilmaz.

“LOSC [Lille] is proud to welcome Turkish international Burak Yılmaz (35) to its ranks today. The experienced and prolific striker, a Turkish football idol, has signed a two-season contract with the Lille club,” the Ligue 1 team said in a statement.

“#NewPlayerDetected,” the club posted on Twitter, along with a Turkish flag emoji.

Lille also shared a roughly 30-second video showing several goals scored by the Turkish international.

Burak Yilmaz became the third Turkish player in the French team after Yusuf Yazici and Zeki Celik.
