Since his arrival, Hervé Koffi is a somewhat special case among the recruits of the RC Lens. If for the formalization of his signature, he posed alongside Pierre Dreossi, it is the old organization (Arnaud Pouille, Frédéric Hébert and Franck Haise in the lead) which validated his arrival from Charleroi, in full 2nd part of fiscal year 2023-2024.
And the doorman finds himself all the more in a special situation today. Brice Samba left, lined up in the goals this Sunday in Le Havre for the 3rd time in a row, he must make do with a number 1 costume with an uncertain destiny, while the club is struggling to find a new goalkeeper after the departure of the French international goalkeeper to Rennes. If the profile will depend on the market, the aborted arrival of Pau Lopez demonstrates that the RC Lens ideally wants a goalkeeper capable of immediately taking on the role of starting goalkeeper.
He had an exit door in France and Belgium
If the Burkina Faso goalkeeper has lived his situation fairly calmly since the start of the season, a departure would still have been considered earlier in the season. According to The Teamthe club informed him in November that he could look for a new base for a loan. The departure of Brice Samba obviously changed everything. Metz (Ligue 2) and Mouscron (Belgium) would then have shown interest.
