R. Strasbourg are being linked with a move for Angers SCO left-back Jacques Ekomié, with the 22-year-old’s contract situation adding intrigue to a potential Ligue 1 switch.
The Gabon-born defender, who also holds French nationality, is currently valued at €7.00m, according to Transfermarkt, and is attracting interest as his contractual terms at Angers are not publicly defined, raising the prospect that he could become a free agent if no extension is agreed. The reported probability of a move remains unclear, listed only as “?”, underlining the speculative nature of the talks at this stage.
Ekomié, a left-footed defender standing at 1.79m, wears the number 3 shirt for Angers and operates primarily as a left-back. Born in Libreville on 19 August 2003, he has emerged as one of the more noteworthy young full-backs in French football, with his dual Gabonese and French nationalities giving him options at international level.
Both Angers and Strasbourg compete in Ligue 1, meaning any deal would keep him in the French top flight. With no confirmed contract expiry date at Angers, Strasbourg’s interest is being framed in the context of either a cut‑price transfer or a possible free-agent opportunity if his deal is close to running down or remains unresolved.
Recent performances for Angers have underpinned his growing reputation, with the club continuing to rely on his energy and defensive discipline on the left flank in their latest league outings, even as speculation over his future gathers pace.
With his market value rising and Ligue 1 experience already on his CV at just 22, a move to Strasbourg – if it materialises – could represent the next step in Ekomié’s development and an important marker in shaping his long-term career trajectory.
