Of the eight senior signings made last season, four were from Ligue 1, with Lucas Paqueta, Nayef Aguerd, Thilo Kehrer and Alphonse Areola arriving from Olympique Lyonnais, Stade Rennais and PSG respectively, the latter owning Kehrer and Areola. Emerson, who joined from Chelsea in August, also spent last season on loan at Lyon.
