Lille boss Garcia thrilled with signing of ex-Chelsea attacker Kalou

Lillie manager Rudi Garcia has spoken of his delight at the clubs capture of Salomon Kalou.

The 26-year old Ivorian attacker departed Chelsea when his contract expired at the end of last season and has now pitched up for Les Dogues with a second-half appearance in the weekend's scoreless friendly draw with Benfica.

"We have seen that Kalou is a guy full of talent," Garcia said to France Football.

"He'll have to get fitter, but it's a good start in the team for him."
