Salomon Kalou has had an impressive season with Lille, scoring 14 goals in 37 Ligue 1 matches, which has garnered attention from top clubs. His future with Lille could hinge on their qualification for the Champions League.
Lille faces a crucial match against Lorient this Saturday in their bid to secure a third-place finish in Ligue 1, which guarantees Champions League football. Failure to qualify for this prestigious competition could see Kalou parting ways with Lille.
According to reports from the Daily Express, several English clubs are interested in Kalou’s services, with Arsenal and Liverpool leading the chase. Kalou previously spent six seasons in the Premier League with Chelsea and left a lasting impression.
Additionally, Serie A side AC Milan and Ligue 1 contenders Monaco are also reportedly keen on signing the Ivorian international. Club presidents Silvio Berlusconi and Dmitri Rybolovlev are said to be considering Kalou to bolster their respective squads for upcoming competitions.
