Lille beat Rennes 2-1 at the Roazhon Park on Sunday, a win that lifts them to second place in Ligue 1, two points behind Paris Saint-Germain.

Soriba Diaoune, a 19-year-old left winger, gave Lille the lead in the first half and also set up the winner. Boulaye Dia levelled for Rennes in the 31st minute before Nathan Ngoy scored the decisive goal in the 68th.

FootVal's valuation of Diaoune is €5.4m, above his market value of €4m on Transfermarkt. He is under contract at Lille until June 2028 and has one assist in three appearances this season.

Paris Saint-Germain remain top with 23 points from 10 games, after Ilya Zabarnyi's goal gave them a 1-0 win over Troyes on Saturday.
