Fahmi out of favour
The 30-year-old defender has agreed a short-term deal until the end of the season. Fahmi was a key player for Lille during Vahid Halilhodzic's reign as coach from 1999-2002 but had fallen out of favour under current boss Claude Puel. He could make his debut in Sunday's league game against FC Nantes Atlantique.
