RC Lens is actively pursuing the signing of Brighton & Hove Albion`s Senegalese attacker, Abdallah Sima, for the upcoming summer transfer window. Discussions are reportedly underway between the Ligue 1 club and the Seagulls to finalize an agreement for the 24-year-old international winger.
Sima`s Impressive Loan Spell at Brest
Sima could be making a significant return to the French top flight, having spent the previous season on loan with Stade Brestois. During his tenure with “Les Pirates,” the forward demonstrated his scoring prowess, netting 12 goals and providing 2 assists across 40 appearances in all competitions. Notably, he also contributed three crucial goals in the UEFA Champions League, showcasing his ability on a major European stage and underlining his potential impact.
Strategic Move Amidst Squad Changes
This potential acquisition by “Les Sang et Or” appears to be a strategic one, as the club anticipates a departure from its current attacking roster. Head coach Pierre Sage recently confirmed his expectation for Morgan Guilavogui to leave before the transfer window closes. Consequently, Abdallah Sima is being viewed as a prime candidate to fill that potential void, reinforcing Lens` offensive options for the upcoming season and ensuring squad depth.
