Dilane Bakwa hits two goals in six games to make an early impact at Lille

Dilane Bakwa continued his promising start to life at Lille by scoring against Le Havre on Saturday, 10 October, during the sixth matchday of Ligue 1.

The French-Congolese winger’s latest goal strengthens his growing influence in Lille’s attack, with the 24-year-old adapting steadily since arriving at the club.

Bakwa joined Lille from Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan and has begun to establish himself in his new surroundings. His performances have already allowed him to make a contribution to the club’s ambitions in the league, while his attacking output has provided encouraging early evidence of his importance to the team.

Across six appearances for Lille this season, Bakwa has scored two goals and supplied one assist. Those figures represent a positive start for a player aiming to secure a lasting place in the squad and take on a leading role in the side’s attacking play.

His progress is also reflected in his current valuation. According to Transfermarkt, Bakwa is estimated to be worth 28 million euros.

That figure underlines the potential attributed to the winger as he continues working to demonstrate his qualities from match to match with Lille. His goal against Le Havre was another step in that development and extended a productive opening spell with the club.
