Yannick Pandor: Rodez AF linked with move for Lens goalkeeper

Rodez AF are being linked with a move for Lens goalkeeper Yannick Pandor, with the Ligue 2 side reportedly exploring a deal for the 25-year-old Comoros‑France stopper.

Data from Transfermarkt indicates Rodez are monitoring Pandor’s situation at Lens, where his pathway has been blocked in Ligue 1 and his long‑term future remains unclear. The reported probability of the transfer is currently listed as “?”, underlining that talks are at a speculative stage rather than an advanced negotiation.

Pandor, valued at around €400,000, could represent a relatively low‑cost solution for Rodez as they look to strengthen their goalkeeping options for the new campaign. With no public details on a contract expiry at Lens, a range of scenarios remain possible, including an eventual free‑agent departure if terms are not renewed.

Born in Marseille on 1 May 2001 and standing at 1.92m, Pandor offers a physically imposing presence in goal and is a left‑footed specialist in his position. He holds dual nationality, representing both Comoros and France at eligibility level, and is currently listed with Belgian side Francs Borains, where he wears the number 1 shirt, highlighting his status as a first‑choice goalkeeper there.

While detailed recent match data is limited in the publicly available figures, Pandor’s regular involvement for Francs Borains in 2025‑26 has sustained his valuation at €400k and kept him on the radar of clubs in France’s top two tiers. His experience across different environments – from Lens in Ligue 1 to Francs Borains – is seen as adding resilience and maturity to his profile.

Should a move to Rodez materialise, it would offer Pandor a fresh platform in Ligue 2 to convert potential into consistency and could prove a pivotal step in shaping both his club career trajectory and international prospects.
