LOSC bolsters goalkeeping depth with Paraguayan hero Orlando Gill

LOSC have completed the signing of 26‑year‑old Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill, securing him on a five‑season contract that runs until 2031, as part of a busy end‑of‑transfer‑window push in Ch’nord.

The club’s recent activity also includes the recruitment of Dilane Bakwa and the departure of Ayyoub Bouaddi, underscoring a clear strategy to reshape the squad.

Gill arrives from San Lorenzo after featuring in a celebrated Coupe du monde campaign, bringing a World Cup pedigree to Lille.

“La hiérarchie au sein des gardiens de l’effectif est très claire, mais l’arrivée d’Orlando va permettre d’offrir de la profondeur au groupe dans cette saison européenne,” Létang said, highlighting the need for depth ahead of European competition.

The move gives Gill the chance to experience European football first‑hand and potentially feature in the Ligue des champions.

Fair‑play exigé was noted as a guiding principle for the club’s recent dealings.

Rassurez‑vous : c’était le moins chiant face aux Bleus, a comment that adds a light note to the announcement.
