RC Lens have set their sights on Middlesbrough striker Chuba Akpom to succeed Loïs Openda.
Vice-champions of France last season, the Lensois started their season badly this Sunday, beaten 3-2 on the lawn of Brest.
On this occasion, the absence of the soaring executives that are Loïs Openda and Seko Fofana was cruelly felt; so the Sang et Or are working harder than ever to strengthen themselves on the offensive.
The target is established, in the person of Chuba Akpom, an Anglo-Nigerian striker who remains on a year with 29 goals in 49 matches with Middlesbrough, a Championship club.

Racing agree with Boro on the transfer fee – estimated at 13 million euros – but so do Ajax, Sky Sports reports on Sunday. The ball is therefore in the court of the 27-year-old Londoner, knowing that Lens has the advantage of being qualified for the Champions League. Unlike the flagship club of Amsterdam.
