Belgium defender Thomas Meunier has joined Lille on a two-year contract, the Ligue 1 club said on Friday. Meunier, 32, had joined Turkish side Trabzonspor in February from Borussia Dortmund.
He previously won the Ligue 1 title three times with Paris St Germain and was in the Belgium squad that finished third at the 2018 World Cup.Lille was the perfect choice from a sporting and family point of view. With its proximity to Belgium, it’s like being at home,” Meunier said in a statement.
“My experience in the various European Cups will enable me to coach the youngest members of the dressing room and ensure that they’re 100 per cent focused on the club’s sporting success.
Lille will be in the Champions League qualifiers after finishing fourth in Ligue 1 last season. They begin their league campaign at Reims on 18 August.
