If there is a club that agitates the winter transfer window in Ligue 1 in the company of Stade Rennais, it is RC Lens. The Artesian club, which has been changing since last summer, has bail out its funds with the sale of Abdukodir Khusanov to Manchester City against compensation of € 50 million included. In parallel with this, the Lensois sports director, Diego Lopez, must manage the Kevin Dance file for whom the northern club awaits a check for € 25 million to let it go, but also the hesitations of David Pereira da Costa, who thinks Still to say yes to Portland.

In the sense of arrivals, the Artesian club does not deserve. After recruiting Goduine Koyalipou in the course of January, Lens recovered the revelation of Valladolid Juma Bah who arrives for six months from City. Finally last reinforcement, that of the young Swedish hope Jeremy Agbonifo who will commit in the coming hours. But blood and gold are insatiable and are on the lookout for the slightest opportunity.

Kamaldeen Sulemana, a great opportunity for the RC Lens

According to our information, the quest for another offensive reinforcement, at number 9 or a versatile attacker is not completely abandoned. Diego Lopez multiplies the tracks and one of them leads to an old knowledge of Ligue 1, namely Kamaldeen Sulemana. The twirling 22 -year -old Ghanaian winger, who had revealed in Ligue 1 on the side of Stade Rennais by martyling more than one defender of the French championship, very much appeals to the Lensois sports director.

Currently in Southampton in a Moribonde team, the former Rennais is not against the idea of ​​relaunching himself far from the saints and would see a good eye a return to France and more particularly to the RC Lens whose public, the Fair and recent performances in Ligue 1 do not leave it any marble.

Kamaldeen Sulemana is open to the idea of ​​playing in Lens

For its part, the English club is clearly open to a departure from its attacker recruited € 25 million in Rennes two years ago almost today. Although steep talent and having a perfect game for the Premier League, Sulemana failed to shine on the other side of the Channel (3 goals and 6 assists in 58 matches in all competitions), not really Helped it is true by a very low Southampton team and which sails between the Championship and the Premier League. Despite everything, the 22 -year -old Ghanaian international, who is capable of evolving throughout the front of the attack, returns well in recent weeks, like his good match against Manchester United on January 16 where his Percussion and his dribbles had done a lot of trouble at the Red Devils and had earned him a beautiful tribute from Ruben Amorim, the coach of the Red Devils.

Lens could jump on the occasion, but the deal is difficult. The current 20th of the Premier League wants a transfer of the order of 8-9 M € with a strong % to the resale for Sulemana, under contract until June 2027 with English training. On the Lens side, we prefer a paid loan with option to buy. For the moment, this option has been failed by the saints. But the transfer window ends Monday, February 3 and by then, anything can happen …
