Nicolas Tournat starts his second season at Lomza Vive Kielce
–
On the eve of this new 2021-2022 season which is about to begin all over Europe, let’s review the list of the main French players expatriated to the four corners of the continent, from Portugal to Belarus via the Germany and North Macedonia.
Germany
Let’s start with the prestigious Bundesliga. Romain Lagarde having chosen to return to France near Aix, after a somewhat mixed experience at Rhein-Neckar Löwen, there remains only Junior Scott as a tricolor representative within the German elite. The former Nantes left-back will continue to help his club Balingen to strive for maintenance.
Spain
Melvyn Richardson (France)
–
Beautiful people in Asobal, with a contingent always also provided on the side of the reigning European champion, the FC Barcelona. The tauliers Ludovic Fabregas, Timothey N’Guessan and Dika Mem were joined this summer by another Olympic champion, Melvyn Richardson.
TO Irun, we find the defensive specialist Thomas tecorière and the young right winger Tao Gey, who should benefit from more minutes this season. Finally, the leader Jules Lignieres will continue its progression towards Benidorm.
Denmark
In an increasingly prominent championship, with the rise of Aalborg or even GOG, Noah gaudin will try to confirm his very interesting first season at SønderjyskE.
Hungary
Mahé of the city chose to stay at Veszprém, where he should alternate between center-half and left-winger positions, within a club with consistently high goals.
Poland
Dylan Nahi (France)
–
The French armada of Kielce begins to expand, pending two additional reinforcements scheduled for 2022/23 (Nedim Remili and Benoît Kounkoud). This season is Dylan Nahi who will accompany Nicolas Tournat among the Yellows and Blues, candidates for the title in all the competitions they will play, as well as the previously mentioned Barcelona and Veszprém.
North Macedonia
Here is an increasingly French destination! After Robin Cantegrel at the Vardar last year (returned to France, in Toulouse), they will number five this season: on the one hand, the brothers Olivier and Kévynn Nyokas meet on the side of the Metalurg Skopje, where they are joined by Abdoulah Mane (rear left, from Dijon).
Finally, the prestigious Vardar, great rival of Metalurg, welcomes no less than two French players: the pivot Jérémy Toto from Wisla Plock (Poland), and the left rear Bakary Diallo (Tremblay).
Romania
Two French will play in Romania this season: Leo Renaud-David continue on the side of Buzau, while Cedric Sorhaindo land at Dynamo Bucharest, where he will bring his valuable experience, especially in the Champions League.
Portugal
If Arnaud Bingo (ex-Sporting) returned to Tremblay and Kévynn Nyokas (ex-Benfica) will discover North Macedonia (see above), the left winger Mahamadou keita he will continue in the Benfica.
Belarus
Baptiste Bonnefond
–
The rear of PAUC William Accambray had evolved in Meshkov Brest in 2019-20. This season, Baptiste Bonnefond goes the opposite way and joins the same club, which will again participate in the Champions League.
The list is obviously not exhaustive, other French players play in smaller championships, we can think of the Franco-Tunisian left-back Hamza Kablouti (ex-Ivry) who signed in Valur in Iceland, or in right winger Malik Hoggas who played last year in Greece at AC Diomidis Argous. We can also cite Paco Barthe in Bietigheim (in 2. Bundesliga, German second division).
Finally, leaving the European framework and heading to the Japanese country, we will not omit the exotic transfer of pivot Igor Anic to Daido Steel Phenix, in Nagoya. Japan, which saw the Blues come to pick gold this summer, and which could also be the next destination of a certain Luc Abalo …
