Villarreal are being linked with a move for Angers SCO left-back Jacques Ekomié, with the Ligue 1 defender listed at a market value of €7.00m.
The 22-year-old, who holds both Gabonese and French nationality, is attracting interest from La Liga according to transfer data placing Villarreal as a potential destination. The reported probability of the deal remains unclear, marked only as “?”, and there is currently no indication of a completed agreement.
Ekomié, born in Libreville on 19 August 2003, has emerged at Angers as a modern full-back, operating primarily on the left side of defence and favouring his left foot. He wears the number 3 shirt for the French club and is officially registered as a Defender – Left-Back. Standing at 1.79m, he combines a relatively lean frame with the mobility required for top-flight football.
Contract details at Angers are not publicly specified in the latest data, with both his joining date and contract expiry listed as unknown. That situation has fuelled speculation that he could become available at a reduced fee in a forthcoming window, or potentially edge towards free‑agent status should his deal run down, further underpinning Villarreal’s interest.
Angers, currently competing in Ligue 1, have used Ekomié consistently this season, with the defender featuring most recently in their league campaign, though specific match records beyond the competition level are not detailed in the available data. No individual goals, assists or cards are recorded in the dataset, but his regular involvement for the first team has coincided with a steady rise in profile and valuation.
With Villarreal seeking to refresh their defensive options and Ekomié valued at €7.00m, a move to La Liga would represent a significant next step in his career and could shape his reputation as a versatile, international-calibre full-back if the transfer speculation eventually turns into a concrete deal.
