The French women’s basketball team Lattes-Montpellier has continued its summer transfer activity with the signing of German international Laura Zolper, following the arrival of French star Sara Chevaugeon from BLMA earlier this month. The club, which competes in the Ligue Féminine de Basketball (LFB), has strengthened its roster ahead of the upcoming 2026-27 season.
Zolper, a 2.06-meter center known for her defensive presence and rebounding ability, joins Lattes-Montpellier after a successful stint with German club Phoenix Hagen. Her arrival adds depth to the team’s frontcourt, complementing Chevaugeon’s offensive firepower. The signing was confirmed via the club’s official channels, though no official statement from Zolper herself has been released.
Lattes-Montpellier’s recent transfer activity reflects a strategic push to bolster its championship ambitions. The club, which finished fifth in the 2025-26 LFB season, has set its sights on a deeper run in the EuroLeague Women and a potential title challenge in domestic competition. The signing of Chevaugeon—one of France’s most decorated players—marked a significant reinforcement of the team’s scoring options, while Zolper’s experience at the international level adds defensive stability.
With five players remaining under contract from last season’s squad, Lattes-Montpellier appears to be balancing continuity with strategic upgrades. The club’s management has indicated that further signings are possible, though no additional names have been officially linked as of Tuesday, May 26, 2026.
The EuroLeague Women and LFB seasons are set to begin in September 2026, giving the team several months to integrate its new additions. Zolper’s arrival, in particular, will be closely watched by fans and analysts, as her ability to guard elite-level forwards could be decisive in high-pressure moments.
