Sidibe, 19, had been linked with Lyon but Lille have won the race to clinch the defender's signature.

The Frenchman made 34 appearances for Troyes in Ligue 2 last season as the club achieved promotion to the top flight.

"L'ESTAC and Lille have reached an agreement for the transfer of Djibril Sidibe," read a statement on Troyes' official website.

"The young right-back also interested Lyon, but president [Daniel] Masoni has completed negotiations with LOSC, with the player having expressed a preference for Lille.

"Everyone at Troyes send their best wishes to Djibril for continued success for the remainder of his career."
