A month and a half after the departure of Deiver Machado to FC Nantes, RC Lens seems to have his replacement. A 32-year-old Congolese international is reportedly on the verge of joining the current Ligue 1 leader.
Arthur Masuaku, third recruit of the winter at RC Lens?
If the information still merits confirmation, RC Lens could enlist Arthur Masuakuthe left side of Sunderland, according to our colleague from the TeamMatteo Amghar. Having played with the RC Lens youth teams between 2003 and 2008, before completing his training at VAFC, where he made his professional debut, the 32-year-old then traveled to the four corners of Europe (Olympiakos, West Ham, Besiktas, Sunderland).
Lacking playing time this season (4 appearances), Arthur Masuaku is looking for a new club. THE Liège Standard had once been mentioned at the start of winter. Note that the possible new player from RC Lens injured his ankle during the African Cup of Nations (CAN) and is not expected to return to the field before the end of February. Which would therefore make it a potential reinforcement only for the final sprint.
