Alassane Touré Could Leave RC Lens Amid Club Uncertainty
With RC Lens still awaiting a definitive ruling from the DNCG on whether they’ll play in Ligue 1 or Ligue 2 this season, defender Alassane Touré may be on his way out. The 25-year-old, currently a free agent and in talks for a contract extension, is reportedly attracting interest from clubs in both the English Premier League and Championship, according to Foot Mercato.
Touré, who joined Lens in 2009, made 21 appearances during the past season, providing one assist. His future is said to hinge heavily on the outcome of Lens’ league status.
