Cedric Bakambu Set for Sochaux Exit Amid Premier League Interest
Cedric Bakambu looks set to bring his time in French football to an end, with the Sochaux forward attracting serious interest from abroad. Despite Sochaux’s efforts to retain the 23-year-old Franco-Congolese international, his departure now appears inevitable.
Under contract until 2015, Bakambu has drawn attention from several clubs across Europe. In France, Lorient submitted a €1.5 million bid, which was turned down by Sochaux, who are reportedly holding out for €2 million. Reims have also expressed interest, but may struggle to compete with the financial strength of overseas suitors.
The most likely destination for Bakambu appears to be the Premier League. Crystal Palace and Swansea City are both closely monitoring the striker’s situation and could soon table offers. A move to England would mark a major step forward in Bakambu’s career, providing him with a new platform to showcase his pace and attacking flair.
Bakambu, who has been a key figure at Sochaux in recent seasons, is now poised for a fresh challenge, with a transfer expected to materialise before the close of the summer window.
