Could he be the DMF next season...?
London calling for Makoun
by Laurent Picard, 29 April 2008
Setantasports.com can reveal that Lille star Jean II Makoun is discussing a move to a London club.
The Cameroonian is speaking to ‘an ambitious’ club from the capital, although Manchester City are in the frame for the talented midfielder.
Agent Jean-Christophe Thouvenel has revealed that Makoun has a gentleman’s agreement with LOSC to be transferred in the summer and the representative is planning a big-money move for one of Ligue 1’s outstanding players.
“The discussions are very advanced with a London club,” Thouvenel told setantasports.com.
“It is not West Ham, no. Tottenham? Well, I cannot reveal it to you right now.
“To give you a clue, without naming the club, their manager is not English, they are a very good club that have a very ambitious project, they want to attack well and defend well.
“Last year Mathieu Bodmer and Kader Keita left Lille, and the club asked Makoun to stay one more year to help them with their transition to a new era.
“A new cycle will start there and I expect a very important transfer for the player.
“I am also in contact with Manchester City’s general manager.”
