The RC Lens is actively preparing to strengthen its offensive sector before the closure of the summer mercato. The club has a substantial budget, estimated between 8 and 10 million euros, specifically allocated to the recruit of a new attacker. Coach Pierre Sage is looking for a player capable of bringing depth and offensive efficiency, filling a lack of solutions in this area of the field. Currently, Abdallah Sima, a Brighton player until 2026 and loaned to Brestois Stadium last season, is a privileged track for the Lens club.

Lens’ interest in Abdallah Sima was recently confirmed by sources close to the club. The player made a convincing ready season in Brest, with 12 goals and 2 assists from all competitions, which prompted the desire of Brest coach Eric Roy to keep him. However, the Lens RC must first continue to reduce its payroll in order to realize this recruit. A departure from Angelo Fulgini is envisaged to free up funds and facilitate the arrival of the attacker.

The versatile profile of Abdallah Sima, able to evolve across all the attack stations, meets the needs of RC Lens. Although some observers point to the lack of a real finisher on the team, Brighton is willing to sell it for a price of between 6 and 7 million euros. This opportunity represents an opportunity for Lens to strengthen its attack and realize a successful mercato before the transfer closure.
