It's a bit of a crisis at the moment at FC Nantes. The Canaries have in fact suffered four defeats in their last five matches and have not won overall since August.
Faced with this situation, Antoine Kombouaré is obviously threatened but Waldemar Kita almost cannot dismiss the French technician. The latter would indeed cost FC Nantes too expensive with his significant salary and his remaining 18 months of contract.
FC Nantes courts a Cameroonian attacking midfielder
To try to get back on track, without necessarily changing coach, there is also the possibility of strengthening the squad in a month and a half during the winter transfer window. The Canaries, who are expected to lose Mostafa Mohamed this winter, have already identified a Ligue 2 striker to try to solidify their offensive sector.
Still in the French second division and in the offensive sector, FC Nantes has another target. According to information from Africa Foot, the Canaries have set their sights on Arthur Avom Ebong. This young Cameroonian attacking midfielder, who is currently with the Indomitable Lions, is highly appreciated by Antoine Kombouaré.
Arthur Avom impresses with FC Lorient
The Nantes management is thus beginning to evaluate the possibility of the arrival of the player from FC Lorient this winter. Aged 19, Arthur Avom is a very promising player, who is having a good season with the Merlus.
With eleven matches under his belt in Ligue 2, he has already delivered four assists in his first season at this level of competition. Nantes recruiters have already contacted the player and his clan to begin negotiations with a view to a transfer from January 2025.
Former great hope of the Fauve Azur club in Cameroon, Arthur Avom is today valued at only €100,000 by Transfermarkt. But with its start to the season and its strong potential, FC Lorient should be more greedy.
Passionate about sport and from Toulouse, I am of course a supporter of the great TFC, which has more titles than OM and OL combined over the last ten years.
