The €50M from the sale of Khusanov to Manchester City will do a lot of good for RC Lens’ finances, but a certain part of this sum should be invested to strengthen the attack of Will Still’s team.
RC Lens continues to be one of the most attractive clubs in Ligue 1 during this transfer window. While it has already lost Brice Samba, who left for Stade Rennais for €15M and Abdukodir Khusanov will join Manchester City shortly, for €50M, the Northern club will be able to rebalance its accounts, or even recruit during the winter transfer window.
According to information from FootMercatothe Sang et Or would have two tracks for their left wing. The first leads to Taha Ali, winger from Malmö in Sweden. A long-standing idea for the Lensois who had already faced failure in this matter last summer, and which does not really look any easier in this month of January.
Another RC Lens track, and undoubtedly more affordable: Cyriaque Irié. He is a winger from ESTAC Troyes, valued at €6M. However, the RCL is not alone on Irié. The player who is splashing Ligue 2 this season would also be followed by Leicester, Brentford, Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund, Bologna and even AC Milan. Fierce competition.
