Strasbourg today confirmed the season-long loan signing of Nicolas Fauvergue from Lille.

The 24-year-old forward was snapped up by the Ligue 2 side having fallen down the pecking order at Lille.

Strasbourg have the option of signing Fauvergue on a permanent basis at the end of his loan spell.

"I needed a change of air," he told Strasbourg's official website, which confirmed the deal this morning.
