Pau FC has announced the signing of highly sought-after young central defender Lucas Rakotozafy. The Franco-Malagasy, who has been captain of Guingamp's U19 and the Malagasy U20 national team, has chosen to join the Béarnais club despite international interest in his services. He signs for one season with the aim of securing a professional contract next, which he will not be able to sign before his 20th birthday. Lucas Rakotozafy is expected to start training with the first team at the start of the season before joining the reserve team in N3.
