RC Lens Eyes Baghdad Bounedjah as Ligue 1 Return Approaches
RC Lens is on the verge of returning to Ligue 1, but the club will need to wait until the final matchday of Ligue 2 to secure their place among France’s football elite. Despite the suspense, the northern French team, led by manager Antoine Kombouaré, is already preparing for their promotion, with several potential additions to strengthen the squad.
One player reportedly on their radar is Baghdad Bounedjah, the prolific striker from Etoile Sportive du Sahel. According to Francefootball, the Algerian international, currently leading the Tunisian league’s scoring charts, has attracted the attention of RC Lens. Bounedjah’s impressive form has not gone unnoticed across the Mediterranean, and Lens is reportedly keen to bring him to France as they prepare for life in Ligue 1.
The 22-year-old forward has had a remarkable season, scoring 14 goals despite serving a six-match suspension. His performances have made him one of the standout players in the Tunisian league, and his future is now a subject of interest for several European clubs. Although Bounedjah recently extended his contract with Etoile Sportive du Sahel until 2017, his name is also being linked with Turkish Süper Lig clubs, adding further competition for Lens in the race to sign the talented striker.
With their eyes set on a return to the top flight, RC Lens will look to bolster their attack, and Bounedjah could be a key addition to their ranks, should the deal materialize. His potential move to Ligue 1 represents a significant step in his career, and with interest from several clubs, his next destination will be closely watched.
