Arsène Kouassi on Lens's radar

Arsène Kouassi is no longer flying under the radar. The solid and consistent Burkinabè defender from Ajaccio is attracting interest from numerous clubs. Among them: RC Lens.

According to local outlet Corse Matin, Lens sporting director Diego Lopez personally traveled to Corsica to watch the player in a recent match. Lens is ready to step up their pursuit.

But nothing is decided yet. Brentford from the Premier League is also tracking Kouassi. So are Angers and Lorient, two Ligue 1 sides in search of defensive reinforcements. Arsène Kouassi impresses with his composure, positional sense, and ability to build play from the back. He fits the mold of a modern defender—young, yet already remarkably mature on the pitch. Lens seem determined, but the competition is fierce.
