Dabila: Royal Excel Mouscron sign Ivorian and Lille centre-back

Belgian First Division A side Royal Excel Mouscron have announced the signing of Kouadio-Yves Dabila on a season-long loan from Ligue 1 club Lille.

The 23-year-old defender is no stranger to the Belgian top-flight, having featured for Cercle Brugge in the 2019-20 campaign on loan.

The Ivorian made 21 league appearances and scored one goal to help Paul Clement’s men finish the season in 14th spot on the table.

Royal Excel Mouscron finished 10th in the league last season and have recruited the defender in their quest to compete for the league title in the 2020-21 season.
