If he will evolve well next season at Al-Nassr, Seko Fofana is preparing to become a shareholder of RC Lens.
Seko Fofana seemed to have drawn a line under his love affair with RC Lens. On Instagram, he did not hesitate to purge his account of all the photos linking him to the Blood and Gold before flying to Saudi Arabia, where he will engage with Al-Nassr.
But the artesian club made an astonishing announcement on Tuesday. At the time of paying tribute to their former captain, the Lensois leaders have indeed revealed that the Ivorian international would become a minority shareholder of the vice-champion of France.
“Marked with a red and yellow iron, Seko Fofana has decided to support the club in its growth and to play a role in its strategy by entering the capital of Racing Club de Lens. A strong act that will prolong this lasting bond,” thus informed the RCL in a press release, adding: “We could highlight an intense and nostalgic sadness, which cannot be hidden, at the announcement of this departure. Nevertheless, I want, on behalf of the club, to especially salute an exemplary captain who was sparkling and showed the way for three seasons. Seko arrived when the club was freshly promoted, with this ambition to help it regain its influence and the continental scene. Despite the many requests, he never turned away from this project which became his. During these three years, we have been able to preserve this pattern of trust without ever deviating from it. For a player of this caliber, this signing was a risk, it gave birth to a romance. Seko wore the Artesian coat of arms high and proud, before the armband that made him “Captain Seko”
