Burkina Faso goalkeeper Herve Kouakou Kiffi is set to join French Ligue 1 side Lille Olympique Sporting Club from Ivory Coast’s Asec Mimosas.

Koffi, 20, has penned a five-year pre-contract deal with the three times Ligue 1 champions and will leave at the end of the current Ivory Coast Ligue 1 season.

Asec is currently top of the 14-team league standings after nineteen rounds of fixtures with 36 points – four points clear of second placed WAC with a game at hand.

He joined the Ivorian giants in 2015 from his home town club RC Bobo Dioulasso and has been a mainstay for Black and Yellows between the posts.

Koffi represented the Stallions of Burkina Faso at the 2017 Gabon African Cup of Nations where they finished third.
