L’Équipe report this afternoon that French youth international left-back Yasser Larouci is closing in on a move to newly-promoted Premier League side Sheffield United, in the wake of Troyes’ relegation to Ligue 2 last season.
Larouci was under contract with the Aube side for another three years, having joined from Liverpool back in 2021. He had come through the youth ranks with the Reds and would make two appearances with the senior team during his time on Merseyside.
The full-back has emerged as a consistent started this season, playing in 30 Ligue 1 fixtures, chipping in with one goal and one assist, with the team ultimately unable to avoid relegation. The previous season, he had only been involved in 12 matches. This summer, he was called up to the France squad that took part in the U21 Euros, with Les Bleuets eventually going out in the quarter-finals after a loss against Ukraine.
