This Friday, the RC Lens will play its 2nd friendly match of its summer preparation. It will be against Valenciennes at 4 p.m. in the Gaillette.
During this closed meeting, the Racing will not find one of its former elements in the Valenciennes workforce. In effect, Baptist William recently left the northern club to join another Ligue 2 club.
Present on the VA side since 2019, the striker trained at La Gaillette has signed up with Guingamp for a period of 2 years plus an optional year. He replaces post for post the former Lensois Yannick Gomis. The former goalscorer Sang et Or left Brittany to join Aris Limassol in Cyprus.
Pure product of the RCL training center, Baptiste Guillaume had started with the professionals in the artesian jersey. Author of convincing performance, he joined Lille in the summer of 2015 for 5 years. A transfer of 4 million euros which will make a lot of talk, even if the sum will allow the RCL, in great financial difficulty, to blow economically speaking. However, the Belgian will not live up to the hopes placed in him and will then chain clubs like Strasbourg, Angers, Nîmes and Valenciennes. Last season, in a struggling team, Baptist William played 25 Ligue 2 games for only 3 goals.
