France U21 international Locko has had a breakout season. Not only has he carved himself a space in Thierry Henry’s Les Bleuets’ side, but he has also been a stalwart in a Brest side that has exceeded all expectations to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League – a first in the 74-year history of Les Ty-Zéfs.
Locko’s performances have also earned him a place in Get French Football News’ Ligue 1 Team of the Season. His development has not gone unnoticed. According to a report from L’Équipe, Lille are interested in the Frenchman, despite extending the contract of Brazilian veteran Ismaily (34) by a further year.
However, Les Dogues may face competition from Nottingham Forest, who have secured their Premier League status for another year, as well as an unnamed Serie A side.
