Hard blow for Lens and El-Aynaoui
It was a cold shower for Lens and Monaco, where Neil El-Aynaoui was expected today.

While everything was ready for the signing of a four-year contract with the club from the Principality, the young 23-year-old Franco-Moroccan midfielder was rejected for his medical examination.

The problem? A lesion in the left knee requiring surgery according to the Monegasque medical staff. So several months of unavailability.

ASM therefore loses the desired replacement for Youssouf Fofana, who was promised to AC Milan. As for RC Lens, who will probably not be able to count on the former Nancy player in the immediate future, 15 million euros are flying away. A real disaster if we are to believe the president Joseph Oughourlian, who says he wants to replenish the Artois coffers to the tune of 100 million euros this summer.
