Among the priorities of the Artesian club is Taha Ali, winger from Malmö. At 26 years old, this Swedish player is under contract until December 2026. Already coveted by Lens last summer, Ali once again attracts the attention of the Lens board. According to Foot Mercato, relaying Sportbladet, a first offer was made but rejected by Malmö. This return to the charge shows Lens’ determination to expand its offensive animation with a technical and impactful profile.
Cyriaque Irié, a promising young talent
At the same time, RC Lens is also interested in Cyriaque Irié, a 19-year-old right winger playing in Troyes. Linked to the Aube club until June 2029, the young Ivorian striker impresses with 6 goals and 2 assists in 20 Ligue 2 and Coupe de France matches. Its value is estimated at 6 million euros. However, competition from English and German clubs complicates negotiations for Lens, who will have to be convincing to attract this precocious talent.
A strong offensive strategy
These steps demonstrate RC Lens’ desire to strengthen its offensive line to remain competitive in Ligue 1. With complementary profiles like Taha Ali and Cyriaque Irié, the club hopes to energize its attack and continue its momentum. It remains to be seen whether the Sang et Or will manage to conclude these files in the coming weeks.
Supporter of En Avant de Guingamp, the best of the Breton clubs, I prefer to meet Yannis Salibur, Cristophe Kerbrat or Jeremy Sorbon rather than Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Sergio Ramos.
