Stade de Reims targets Abdoulaye Kanté as Marshall Munetsi’s successor

Stade de Reims is preparing for Marshall Munetsi’s potential move to the Premier League and has identified Abdoulaye Kanté as his replacement.

The 19-year-old Ivorian midfielder has impressed at ESTAC Troyes, making 23 appearances this season.

Reims is reportedly ready to offer him a long-term contract, but the final decision depends on the closing hours of the transfer window.

Valued at €1.5 million, Kanté has been a key player for Troyes, which had considered extending his contract.

A switch to Ligue 1 could accelerate his development and strengthen Reims’ midfield should Munetsi depart.

Reims faces Lyon in their upcoming Ligue 1 match as they finalize their squad before the window shuts.
