Wout Faes will try his luck in AS Monaco’s defense until the end of the season. The central defender signed a contract until the end of the season with coach Sébastien Pocognoli’s team. Faes has to save the day due to many injuries to the team from the dwarf state. Monaco also has a purchase option.

After 3.5 years in England, Wout Faes is closing the door on Leicester City. There he found it more difficult this season to be a regular starter in the second division.

The Red Devil accepts an offer from AS Monaco to depart at the back for six months. If the 27-year-old central defender can appeal, the club also has an option to purchase.

Faes must offer a solution to the defensive injury burden in the principality. Mohammed Salisu has been out for a long time with a cruciate ligament injury and Christian Mawissa is also dealing with physical ailments.

Ligue 1 is not unknown territory for our compatriot. He was previously active at Stade Reims. In Monaco he will work – for Belgian football fans – under old acquaintance Sébastien Pocognoli.
