France-born Algeria-eligible winger Ichem Ferrah of LOSC Lille B is being linked with a move to Italian Serie B side Pisa. The 20-year-old, who is under contract with Lille’s reserve team until June 2027, has attracted interest after a series of productive seasons in the lower divisions in France and the Netherlands.
Ferrah, a left-footed right winger from Tourcoing, returned to Lille this summer following a loan spell at SC Cambuur. He made 35 league appearances in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie for the Dutch club, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists, form that has put him on the radar of clubs outside France. His current market valuation stands at around €2m, a figure that would represent a relatively modest outlay for Pisa if talks progress.
The winger has been on Lille’s books throughout his youth career, stepping up from the U17s to the U19s before joining the B team in 2023. He has also had a loan spell at FC Rouen 1899, where regular game time in the French lower leagues accelerated his development and preceded a breakthrough year.
Ferrah’s performances have already brought individual recognition, including a best young player award in 2026 in the Dutch second tier. He has also been used sparingly by Lille’s senior side, with brief outings in Ligue 1 and European competition offering a glimpse of first-team involvement.
For now, Ferrah remains a Lille player preparing for the new campaign with the B team, with his future beyond this season likely to depend on whether Pisa follow up their interest with a formal offer.
