Montpellier HSC, currently in the midst of reconstruction following its relegation to Ligue 2, is particularly interested in the field environment of RC Lens, Hamzat Ojediran. According to information relayed by Mohamed Toubache-Ter, the 21-year-old Nigerian player is actively targeted by the Hérault club. Ojediran, after a mixed 2024-2025 season in Lens, follows an interesting path after a successful passage in Debrecen, Hungary. During his first year in the North, he played 17 Ligue 1 games, including a strong title against Nantes with a goal to his credit.

Ojediran’s profile is particularly attractive for Montpellier because of its versatility and technical qualities. He is distinguished by his physical commitment, his ability to recover the ball, to restart and project forward. However, he still has to make progress in managing his physical intensity, sometimes being too aggressive and likely to collect cardboard. Montpellier, in its desire to strengthen its staff to ensure its return to Ligue 1, is looking for players like Ojediran, who can bring freshness and dynamism to the middle of the field.

The possibility of a loan from Ojediran to Montpellier seems to be the preferred option, although RC Lens may hesitate to let him go, especially with the prospect of a potential departure of Neil El Aynaoui. The final decision will depend on the willingness of the sports management of the Lens club to accept this opportunity, taking into account Montpellier’s needs and the potential of the young player. This operation could be part of a strategy of mutual reinforcement, allowing Ojediran to acquire more play time and Montpellier to fill a gap in the middle of the field.
