Lille are being linked with a move for teenage right winger Khays Guimba-Babot from Troyes U19.
The 17-year-old, who turns 18 on 21 May 2026, is currently registered with ESTAC Troyes’ U19 side in France’s Championnat National U19 Group B but is thought to be attracting attention from the Ligue 1 club as they survey emerging talent. The reported probability of any transfer has not been specified and is listed only as “?”, underlining that discussions remain firmly at rumour stage rather than an advanced negotiation.
Guimba-Babot, born in Lyon, is a left-footed attacker who operates primarily as a right winger. He holds dual nationality with Tunisia and France, and is currently listed with ESTAC Troyes U19 as his national-team affiliation at youth level. There is no recorded contract start date or expiry date for the player at Troyes, meaning it is unclear how long he is formally tied to the club and whether he could become a free agent should any current agreement be close to its end or left unrenewed.
No official market valuation has been published for Guimba-Babot, with his value recorded as “None” on transfer databases, adding a further layer of uncertainty to what any potential deal with Lille might look like in financial terms. Recent match-by-match statistical details, including specific opponents, dates, scorelines and individual performance metrics, are not available in the current data set, making it difficult to quantify his impact in the most recent fixtures for Troyes’ U19s.
For Lille, any move would be a speculative investment in a young, left-footed wide player who fits the profile of a modern attacking winger, while for Guimba-Babot, a step from youth football at Troyes into a Ligue 1 environment could prove a pivotal moment in shaping his senior career and international prospects if the transfer rumour eventually materialises into a deal.
