FRENCH title winner Yusuf Yazici has had his home ransacked by burglars – while on European duty.
The Turkey international converted a penalty as Lille beat Klaksvik 3-0 in the Conference League on Thursday.
But raiders broke into the 26-year-old’s home during the game and stole two high-value watches, clothes and leather goods.
It was the second burglary suffered by Yazici since joining the northern French club in 2019.
The striker helped Lille win the Ligue 1 title in 2021. He has seven goals from 21 games this season.
Manchester United watched him play for Turkish Super Lig club Trabzonspor on 2019.

Meanwhile Nottingham Forest and Fulham weighed up bids for Yazici two summers ago.
He is back at Lille following loan spells with CSKA Moscow and hometown club Trabzonspor.
But the latest setback could prompt him to quit Les Dogues – opening the way to a Premier League move.
Yazici has won 41 senior caps for Turkey, scoring three goals.
