Despite the official recruitment of Goduine Koyalipou, RC Lens is still looking for another offensive player and is targeting a winger profile. The Lens recruitment unit, which is already targeting Matthias Phaëton (CSKA Sofia), is prospecting in Scandinavia and Ligue 2 to find the rare pearl.
Offer rejected for one, interest supported for the other
If Goduine Koyalipou has arrived, the RC Lens offensive front is not satisfied. After strengthening themselves in the center, the Sang et Or are now looking for a winger while only Florian Sotoca and Anass Zaroury are available to occupy the Lensois corridors. And with this in mind, two names would have been checked by the artesian board. According to information from Foot Mercato, Cyriaque Irie et Taha Ali are on the shelves of Diego Lopez Gomez and his teams.
For the second, a first offer from Racing would have even already been rejected by his Malmö club, with whom the 26-year-old Swedish-Somalian demonstrates his quality of percussion despite a certain inconsistency. If RC Lens was already on his trail last summer, the file remains “ complex “. The first is one of the sensations of the first part of the season in Ligue 2, within an unconvincing Troyes team, after having revealed himself in Dijon in the National.
Recruited three million euros by ESTAC, it will take at least double to convince the Aube club to let go of its 19-year-old jewel, targeted by a plethora of other European clubs (Leicester, Brentford, Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund, Bologna , AC Milan). With, always, the name of Matthias Phaëton kept in the minds of Lensois leaders, and the prospect of being able to very partially reinvest the jackpot collected by the sale of Abdukodir Khusanov (€50M bonus included, according to several sources).
