In search of offensive reinforcements during this winter transfer window, Lens fell in love with Cyriaque Irié, brilliant in Ligue 2 with Troyes this season.
Very active in terms of departures and arrivals during the month of January, RC Lens has not abandoned the idea of strengthening its offensive sector. Will Still made it clear to his leaders that he was waiting for at least one winger to complete his squad and several avenues are being explored by the Sang et Or management. For several days, the most serious seems to be that leading to Cyriaque Irié, the 19-year-old right winger playing for Troyes. Despite the difficulties of the Aube club (15th in Ligue 2), Cyriaque Irié manages to do well and has already scored 6 goals and delivered 2 assists in all competitions since the start of the season.
Troyes wants to make Lens spit
Performances that caught the eye of Lens according to Foot Market. Negotiations are underway between the two clubs but have not yet resulted in an agreement since the latest Lensoise proposal, estimated by the specialized media at 7.5 million euros plus 2.5 million euros in bonuses, has been refused. “Troyes demands a larger amount” for his player and wants to take advantage of Leicester's interest to raise the stakes. We do not yet know whether Lens will crack and submit a new, upwardly revised offer as the transfer window ends on February 3 and Will Still fully intends to welcome at least one striker in the next ten days. .
