The FC Nantes recruitment unit is monitoring Ligue 2 more and more. This winter, the Canaries have shown an interest in a striker in the middle of the championship, Timothé Nakada, who is a hit with Rodez (8 goals and 3 assists in 14 matches). If the file has not progressed since, the FCN continues to prospect in the second division. And this time, it’s on defense that it’s happening.
-An eye on Christ-Owen Kouassi
Not very far from Nantes, in Laval, the Nantes leaders fell under the spell of the profile of Christ-Owen Kouassi. According to France Bleu Mayenne, FC Nantes is one of the clubs interested in the man many consider to be the successor to Nordi Mukiele, a defender trained in Laval and capable of playing in several positions: “The main rumor concerns the promising Owen Kouassi, in the papers of prestigious Elite clubs, Brest, Nantes and Lens, but the central defender himself denies any contact: “These are only rumors, I don’t I received nothing, sometimes I am shown but I remain focused like against Lorient”.
Talent and versatility
Christ-Owen Kouassi is having a good season with Laval. Positioned in the center by his coach, Olivier Frapolli, he is also capable of playing on the side. Versatility, and an obvious margin for progression, which interests Ligue 1 clubs. We will see if FC Nantes will convert its interest with an offer in the weeks or months to come.
