Manchester United and Chelsea Engage in Three-Way Battle for Signature of 22-Year-Old Ligue 1 Sensation: Sources

According to TBR Football, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Chelsea are competing to sign LOSC Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier.

  • The Frenchman, who progressed through Lille’s youth ranks, has made 98 appearances for their senior team.
  • As Lille’s first-choice goalkeeper this season, Chevalier has featured 19 times across all competitions, with standout performances against Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League drawing the attention of top European clubs.
  • Chevalier’s contract with Lille runs until the summer of 2027, meaning the French club could demand a significant transfer fee if his form remains strong.
  • With interest from three Premier League heavyweights—Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham—the situation is set to become highly competitive.
  • Chelsea’s current goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez, has impressed this season, conceding 13 goals and recording two clean sheets in 11 Premier League appearances.
  • Additionally, Chelsea signed Filip Jorgensen earlier this year as a backup option.
  • Meanwhile, Manchester United, who have Andre Onana as their first-choice keeper, are also eyeing Chevalier.
  • Their second-choice goalkeeper, Turkey’s Altay Bayindir, has made only two appearances this season, both in the Carabao Cup.
  • Tottenham’s first-choice goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario, has made 54 appearances for the club, conceding 77 goals and keeping 11 clean sheets.
  • However, with Fraser Forster’s contract expiring next summer, the competition for Chevalier could intensify.
