Chancel Mbemba has spoken about the reasons behind his decision to join LOSC this summer.

Beyond the issue regarding the complaint against OM, Chancel Mbemba also explained his choice to sign with LOSC in the final hours of the summer transfer window. "Did I receive many offers this summer? I didn't get any official offer. Like everyone else, I followed the rumors on social media, with my name linked to many clubs... I had the opportunity to speak with President Olivier Létang, I really enjoyed our meetings, he presented the project to me and everyone knows the president. This chance he gave me... I won't disappoint. I was able to talk with the coach and all the players, so I'm happy to be here," he explained.

Last weekend, the Congolese powerhouse made his return to Ligue 1 fields after a year away. It was a chance for him to regain his rhythm. "I spent a year without playing, but I was working individually. I want to keep working to be 100% and help the team, earn the trust of the staff and my teammates. I'm a calm person, I keep to myself, I observe everything around me, but once I'm on the pitch, I'm a different man. I'm here to help the team. I played 45 minutes, and we'll keep working so I can be ready every time the coach calls on us," he added.

Tomorrow, Lille travels to Lens for a league match.
