When Lille announced the signing of Burak Yilmaz in the summer, most fans of the northern team sensed that the Turk was going to be a substitute. At 35, the former Galatasaray came as a theoretical substitute for Loïc Rémy, while the star signing to replace Victor Osimhen was Jonathan David.
However, Burak Yilmaz’s performance this season places him as one of the best signings in Europe. Yesterday, against Lyon, the Turkish international had one of the best matches of his career, as Lille lost 2-0 and, thanks to the forward, involved in the three Doges goals (two goals and assist), Galtier’s men came back and were able to regain the lead with four rounds left before Ligue 1 ends.
If Lille ends up winning Ligue 1, it will in part be thanks to Yilmaz’s performance. Few expected such a performance in France, since with his double yesterday, the Atalanta adds 12 goals and 5 assists in Ligue 1, adding a goal or assistance every 145 minutes. Among all the competitions, Yilmaz has scored 14 goals and provided 5 assists in 29 games, numbers that place him as one of the best players in Ligue 1 and as the great architect of Lille continuing to dream of winning the title.
