Angers SCO defender Jacques Ekomié is being linked with a move to Turkish Süper Lig side Basaksehir, with the 22-year-old left-back’s future in Ligue 1 increasingly uncertain.
Transfermarkt data lists the Gabon-born France youth product as currently on the books at Angers with no confirmed contract expiry date, fuelling suggestions he could become a free agent if talks over fresh terms fail to progress. The mooted switch from Ligue 1 to Istanbul is currently rated with an unspecified probability (“?”), underlining that discussions remain at a speculative stage rather than an advanced negotiation.
Ekomié, valued at €7.00m, has emerged as one of Angers’ most notable young assets. Born on 19 August 2003 in Libreville and standing at 1.79m, the left-footer operates primarily as a left-back but is viewed as a modern full-back profile, comfortable advancing from deep and defending one-on-one out wide. He wears the number 3 shirt for Angers.
A dual national of Gabon and France, Ekomié has built his reputation in the French system, featuring in Ligue 1 for Angers and gaining exposure against top-flight opposition. His recent outings have helped consolidate that valuation, with performances closely monitored by clubs seeking a relatively young, athletic option on the flank. Specific recent matches have underlined his defensive discipline and energy on the overlap for Angers, even as the club navigate an uncertain period on and off the pitch.
With his market value firmly in mid-range territory and contractual details unclear, Basaksehir could view Ekomié as either a shrewd investment or a potential free-agent opportunity if his deal in France is allowed to run down. Should a move materialise, a switch to the Süper Lig at 22 could be a defining step, offering him a new platform in European competition and a chance to shape both his long-term reputation and international prospects.
