As revealed by Foot Mercato, RC Lens checked off two names to strengthen its attack.
Soon, RC Lens will finalize the transfer of Abdukodir Khusanov to Manchester City, for 50 million euros including bonus. A very nice sum, part of which will be used to strengthen the club offensively. If the RCL has just welcomed striker Goduine Koyalipou, it does not want to stop there. And, as reported by Foot Mercato, the time has now come to recruit a winger, with two main targets mentioned.
A target in Ligue 2
On one side, Taha Ali (26 years old, Malmö FF), a Swedish winger who scored a goal and 7 assists in the league in 2024. Lens had already tried to recruit him last summer, and tried its luck again this winter, but the offer was rejected by Malmö, making this file complex.
The current 7th in Ligue 1 could therefore fall back on Cyriaque Irié (19 years old, ESTAC Troyes). This Ligue 2 revelation, trained at Real de Faso (Burkina Faso) and passed through Dijon, impresses with 6 goals and 2 assists this season. The versatile left-footed winger can play on both sides and impresses with his talent and promising progress. Transferred last summer to Troyes for 3 million euros, he has a high rating (6 million euros), and attracts clubs like Leicester, Brentford, Leipzig, Dortmund, Milan, or Bologna. Lens will have to do well.
