RC Lens wants to strike hard for its return to Ligue 1

Finally, the Racing Club de Lens is back in Ligue 1. The artesian club champion of France during the 1997-1998 season has been playing in the antechamber of the French elite for five seasons and one descent during the 2014 exercise / 2015. Following the coronavirus pandemic and the end of the championships, the second team of Franck Haise finally got his ticket for the upper echelon. Unable to find stability since a descent in 2008, the Racing Club de Lens did not want to reproduce the failures of the past and decided to anticipate on the transfer market. The search for a new coach may arise since Franck Haise only managed two matches with the first team before the end of Ligue 2.

The continuation after this publicity

He could pass an interview with the leaders in order to remove or not the doubts. Valérien Ismaël (LASK) and Rémi Garde (Libre) please the management. The latest revelations from The team however, report an extension of Franck Haise and the enlargement of his staff. Wanting to bet on continuity, RC Lens should keep its framework and should extend the Belgian midfielder Guillaume Gillet (36) who was coming to the end of the contract as explained by the sports daily. Loaned by Toulouse FC this winter, Corentin Jean should also remain in the blood and gold jersey. A good pick since the 24-year-old winger had found colors (9 Ligue 2 matches for 3 goals).

Gaël Kakuta and Sébastien Corchia in the viewfinder

Lately, the name of Amiens Gaël Kakuta (28 years old) was mentioned. He should not stay in Picardy following the relegation of his team. On the other hand, it will be necessary to cross paths with other teams since the Racing Club of Strasbourg and AS Saint-Etienne are also interested. Other enticing tracks will also be explored. If we rely on information from The voice of the North, no less than five eligible players are targeted. The positions sought are two central defenders, a defensive midfielder, a playmaker and a striker. First of all, the young and very promising player from Le Havre, Loïc Badé (20) is about to sign. An interesting transfer since it has a good margin of progression.

Seeing the names of Jérémy Gélin (23) and Kevin N’Doram (24) is also logical since they can play in defense or as a sentinel. The first is no longer in Rennes and has 14 Ligue 1 matches on the clock this season. Loaned by AS Monaco to FC Metz, the second regained playing time (20 Ligue 1 matches). Another name is announced by the regional daily, that of Sébastien Corchia (29 years old). Former player of the rival, the LOSC (from 2014 to 2017), the French international right side (1 cap) has been in failure for three seasons and difficult experiences at Seville FC, Benfica and Espanyol de Barcelona. Finally, other tracks leading to Maxime Le Marchand (Fulham), Thomas Monconduit (Amiens) and Jessy Deminguet (SM Caen) are discussed. Ambitious, RC Lens absolutely does not want to miss its return to Ligue 1.
