Kalou moves to Lille

09/07/2012

Salomon Kalou has signed for French Ligue 1 side Lille after his contract with Chelsea expired at the end of June.

The Ivory Coast international had been at Stamford Bridge for six years and made an impressive 254 appearances for the Blues. He's signed a four-year deal with Lille and will replace Eden Hazard, who has moved to Chelsea!

Lille qualified for the Champions League, so there's always the chance he might come up against his old team at some point this season. Here at Bridgekids, we wish Kalou good luck with his new team – except against Chelsea!
