Ichem Ferrah: Lille winger linked with Pisa move in Serie B switch

France-born Algeria-eligible winger Ichem Ferrah of LOSC Lille B is being linked with a move to Italian Serie B side Pisa as the 20-year-old’s future beyond this season begins to attract growing attention.

Ferrah is under contract with Lille’s reserve side until 30 June 2027, but his performances away from the first team set-up have put him on the radar of clubs looking for attacking reinforcement. The left-footed right winger spent last season on loan in the Netherlands with SC Cambuur, registering 12 goals and six assists in 35 league appearances in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, and was recognised there as the division’s best young player in 2026.

That spell followed another loan in France with FC Rouen 1899, after which Ferrah returned to Lille B in the summer of 2025. Born in Tourcoing in September 2005 and eligible for both France and Algeria, he has progressed through Lille’s youth system from the U17s to the B team, making his senior competitive debut for the club with brief outings in Ligue 1 and European competition.

Ferrah has also been productive at reserve level in France, scoring 20 goals in 43 appearances in National 2, and finished as top scorer in the 2023–24 Championnat National 3 Groupe G season with 15 goals. Those numbers, combined with his relatively modest valuation of around €2 million, are understood to have alerted Pisa as they assess wide options for the new Serie B campaign.

For now, Ferrah remains part of Lille’s B squad with a year gone on his four-year deal, leaving the French club in a strong contractual position should Pisa move from interest to formal talks.
