RC Lens Target: Ghanaian Defender Transfer News

Hard blow for RC Lens: Jonathan Gradit fractured his tibia in training this Friday and will miss several months. The club must now seriously consider reinforcement in central defense for the winter transfer window.

According to Africa Foot, Jean-Louis Lecca has set his sights on Jonas Adjetey, 21, a seven-time Ghanaian international under contract with FC Basel until 2028. Valued at 8 million euros on Transfermarkt, the defender could represent a real opportunity for Lens, especially since Basel does not consider him an indisputable starter this season. The site specifies that the Lensois club is following this track very closely, while evaluating the possibility of betting on the young Ismaëlo Ganiou, author of a goal against Strasbourg on Saturday.

A delicate choice for the winter transfer window

The absence of Gradit leaves a void on and off the field, as the player was such a leader in the locker room. Pierre Sage and Jean-Louis Lecca will have to decide if they launch Lens on the market for Adjetey or if they just shoot with Sarr, Baidoo and Ganiou. The decision will be scrutinized by supporters, eager to see the club maintain its solid third place in Ligue 1.
