With only 12 goals scored in 11 matches, RC Lens has a small problem on the offensive level. His attack, notably missing Elye Wahi this summer, is quite ineffective. The Sang et Or, although 8th in Ligue 1, have the fourth worst attack in the championship.
RC Lens: an attack to strengthen
Fortunately for them, they can, however, rely on an iron defense, which has conceded only 9 goals. The Lensois are the second best defense in Ligue 1, behind Monaco, who have only conceded 8 goals.
Result: RC Lens wants to strengthen its attack this winter. A first track was revealed this Wednesday. According to information from Andrés Onrubia Ramos, Spanish journalist, the Sang et Or are interested in the profile of Gift Orban.
OL want to sell Gift Orban
The 22-year-old Nigerian striker, who plays for Olympique Lyonnais, is a target for the Artois club for the next winter transfer window. The Sang et Or surely want to take advantage of Gift Orban’s transfer list placement.
Indeed, Olympique Lyonnais, which needs to sell this winter, wants to part ways with the Nigerian international in January. Just like Saïd Benrahma, for example.
RC Lens: Gift Orban, a scorer to revive
In Lyon, Gift Orban had a difficult 2024. Arrived last January from Genk for 14 million euros, he never found his place. Barred by strong offensive competition including Alexandre Lacazette and Georges Mikautadze, he has only played 5 matches for 2 goals in 259 minutes of play this season.
It is therefore a player to be relaunched that RC Lens is targeting. Still under contract until June 2028 with OL, the 22-year-old striker has retained a good market value since Transfermarkt still values him at 15 million euros.
Passionate about sport and from Toulouse, I am of course a supporter of the great TFC, which has more titles than OM and OL combined over the last ten years.
