Guest of the RMC Mercato show, Jimmy Cabot, just retired, returned in particular to the case of Brice Samba, his former partner. Captain of RC Lens, the French international should leave the Artesian club in the coming days to join Stade Rennais
Forced to retire following a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, Jimmy Cabot was the guest of RMC Mercato, on the RMC Sport Youtube and Twitch channels, this Thursday. While he spoke at length in the show, the now former RC Lens player returned to the case of Brice Samba. The French international should leave the Artesian club and join Rennes during this winter transfer window.
“He’s a bit of a cat.”
According to Jimmy Cabot, the loss will be heavy for RC Lens: “He’s a very good goalkeeper. He’s capable of making big, impressive saves. He’s a bit of a cat, he’s very strong on his line . He takes a lot of kicking risks. It’s Jesus every other game.”
Lensois since the summer of 2022, Brice Samba has since become captain of the club. In 96 matches in the Sang & Or jersey, the goalkeeper trained at OM managed to enter the hearts of supporters. If his departure is damaging, Lens will manage to find a goalkeeper of his quality according to Jimmy Cabot: “It’s certain that as a Lensois, for the supporters, it hurts. He’s your captain, he has a big aura and a big charisma, so it hurts. There is good sporting logic and a good strategy in Lens. We will have to sustain ourselves with other good players and create a big group.
Near Rennes, in Brittany, Brice Samba will reunite with his former teammate, Seko Fofana. The Ivorian midfielder has signed up until 2029 with the club coached by Jorge Sampaoli.
