Once again, last October, Jean-Louis Gasset came out of retirement to lend a hand to Montpellier, dead last in Ligue 1. Unfortunately, since the departure of Michel Der Zakarian, nothing has really changed. This winter, the MHSC will have to strengthen if it wants to avoid a return to Ligue 2. A right back and a center forward are mainly sought. Here are six players who could join President Nicollin's club.
Bamo Meite (OM)
First loaned by FC Lorient, Bamo Meïté permanently joined OM last summer, for more than 10 million euros. Unfortunately, under the orders of Roberto De Zerbi, the 23-year-old Ivorian central defender has only played 24 minutes in Ligue 1. Montpellier wants him on loan. Deal done?
Elye Wahi (OM)
On paper, the transaction seems impossible, and yet it is. Elye Wahi has all the flavor for Montpellier. A former local serial scorer, the player who played for RC Lens is struggling to find his place at OM. In Hérault, the 21-year-old attacker could get back on track and help the MHSC in its maintenance mission. Mission impossible?
Serge Aurier (free)
Having played for RC Lens, PSG and Toulouse, Serge Aurier has not played in France since 2017. Currently free, the 32-year-old right back, double African champion with Ivory Coast, is desperately awaiting a new challenge. . Can he bring his great experience to a group that sorely needs it?
Lebo Mothiba (libre)
Free since his departure from Strasbourg, Lebo Mothiba had no shortage of requests last summer. Angers, but also Montpellier, were more or less seriously considering bringing him. The South African center forward is hungry for good balls, and would surely welcome a comeback in L1.
Timothé Nkada (Rodez)
To get by, the MHSC could also recruit fit players at the lower level. Like Timothé Nkada. Since his arrival in Rodez, the center forward trained in Rennes has compiled 8 goals and 3 assists in 13 days of Ligue 2. Mentioned in Nantes or on the side of ASSE, he would be of great service to the Paillade club .
Ignatius Ganago (FC Nantes)
Never started in Ligue 1 this season, Ignatius Ganago is wondering about FC Nantes. Especially since his trainer, Antoine Kombouaré, finally seems to be here to stay. In recent days, the 25-year-old Cameroonian international center forward has been linked to the New England Revolution in MLS. More recently, Mohamed Toubache-TER revealed that Ganago could sign for Montpellier. Info or fake?
Pure northerner, who prefers a good National match with USBCO to the rivalry between RC Lens and LOSC. Fan of big atmospheres above all, from ASSE to OM via Strasbourg. To arms!
