Rest assured, Lensois friends, it is not Florian Sotoca.

Present at a press conference on the sidelines of the reception of Toulouse by RC Lens this Sunday for the 16^e day of Ligue 1, Will Still (32) spoke about the situation of his goalkeeper Brice Sambaannounced with insistence on the departure of the club during the January transfer window. The Belgian-British coach did not deny the information, confirming on the contrary the imminent departure of the French international, expected at Stade Rennais : « I learned of Brice's wishes during the holidays. He had received an offer. From the moment the choice is made, there isn't much to discuss. »

« Keeping a player who no longer wants to be there is not necessarily a good thing in the locker room »he said, adding « that ultimately, it's not that complicated. Hervé Koffi will play on Sunday. He had a good match against Paris in the Coupe de France: he has the ability to be with us and he is good. » If, however, he did not hide the intention of the Artesian club to find a new starting goalkeeper during the transfer windowWill Still will therefore once again trust Hervé Koffi to keep the goals for the Sang et Or this Sunday.

The Racing Club de Rennes operation is underway.
