Lille have agreed personal terms with Basar Onal, according to Fabrice Hawkins, as the Ligue 1 side move closer to signing the NEC Nijmegen winger.

The 21-year-old Dutch-born Turkish youth international enjoyed a breakout season in the Netherlands, making 34 appearances in all competitions, scoring nine goals and providing nine assists.

He also played a key role in NEC’s run to the KNVB Cup final, where they eventually lost 5-1 to AZ Alkmaar.

Lille are looking to strengthen their wide attacking options after struggling for consistency in that area during a poor run of form at the start of the year. 

Midseason arrivals Gaetan Perrin and Noah Edjouma have yet to make a major impact, while Matias Fernandez-Pardo is also linked with a possible departure. 

NEC are reportedly demanding around €7m for Onal, with negotiations between both clubs still ongoing.
