Hervé Renard, the new coach of Sochaux, has expressed interest in Harrison Afful, the right-back of Esperance de Tunis, as the first target for the winter transfer window. Renard, who previously worked with Afful during his time as Ghana’s physical trainer, is familiar with the player’s abilities. Afful, originally from Ghana, played for Asante Kotoko before joining Esperance de Tunis, where he has been playing for his fourth season.
Renard is set to face a significant challenge in his first official match as Sochaux’s coach against Monaco, providing a real test for the team. This comes after Renard’s debut in a friendly match against FC Sion a week ago. The interest in Afful suggests a potential move to strengthen Sochaux’s squad during the upcoming transfer window.
