League 1 allowed some English players to express themselves. Some have played there for years. At Lille, two players who passed through LOSC are among the 10 Englishmen with the most matches in Ligue 1 Uber Eats.
Ligue 1 has always attracted players from all over the world. But some of these players come from across the channel and have even managed to win over Ligue 1 Uber Eats. In the LOSC, two players are among the 10 most capped English players. In one season, former Lille resident Joe Cole made it into the top 10. With 32 games played in the 2011/2012 season, the striker is ninth. More recently, there is one more player in the LOSC ranked seventh in this ranking. Angel Gomes made 38 appearances in Ligue 1 with Lille. If the former Manchester United man stays for extra seasons, he could leapfrog other English names in our league.
