The composition of the RC Lens team for the 2025-2026 season is gradually emerging. The club still hopes to strengthen its staff with a central defender, a midfielder and an attacker. However, a more immediate arrival is expected with that of a right side, whose arrival is expected before the end of the week, according to information from Foot Mercato. This recruit is seen as an important reinforcement for the club.

The RC Lens managed to take over the services of Saud Abdulhamid, Saudi international law side of AS Rome. Initially courted by Toulouse FC, the 26-year-old was convinced by the sports project of the Lens club, led by Jean-Louis Leca. This operation is part of the club’s desire to find a quality competitor in Ruben Aguilar, after Przemyslaw Frankowski left. Abdulhamid’s arrival is a strategic choice to meet a specific need in the team.

For Saud Abdulhamid, this Ligue 1 loan represents an opportunity for European recovery, offering him more time to play than in Italy. This experienced recruit, with 38 Saudi national team selections and her participation in the 2022 World Cup, strengthens the right side sector. With Deiver Machado in shape, Pierre Sage now has a dynamic and little-known player in Ligue 1, likely to surprise his opponents. The arrival of Abdulhamid is therefore a major asset for RC Lens in its preparation for the new season.
