Aruna Dindane Poised for Return to French Football with Arles-Avignon
Aruna Dindane is reportedly set to make a return to French football, with Ligue 2 side Arles-Avignon keen to secure the services of the experienced Ivorian striker.
After previously being linked with a move back to RC Lens, Dindane appears to have found a new suitor in Arles-Avignon, according to the regional newspaper Provence. The former Lens forward is said to be close to finalizing a contract with the club following the recent signing of Larsen Touré.
Currently a free agent since parting ways with Crystal Palace, the 33-year-old striker is expected to undergo a medical examination within the coming hours, signaling that his return to French football is imminent.
Arles-Avignon reportedly opted for Dindane over Mamadou Niang after failing to reach an agreement with the former Marseille forward. This decision could mark the end of speculation linking Niang to the Ligue 2 outfit.
Dindane’s potential arrival would mark a significant coup for Arles-Avignon, who have been active this summer in bolstering their squad, following the acquisition of defender Garry Bocaly.
With a wealth of experience in French football and international competitions, Dindane’s return to the French league would provide a valuable boost to the club’s attacking options as they prepare for the upcoming season.
The move also signals Dindane’s determination to continue competing at a high level after a period away from top-flight football.
As the transfer window progresses, Arles-Avignon’s strategic signings highlight their ambition to make a strong impression in Ligue 2. Fans will eagerly await the official confirmation of Dindane’s signing and his impact on the team in the months ahead.
