Soccer / Hervé Koffi returns to France: A new chapter at RC Lens
After a successful stint at Sporting Charleroi in Belgium, Burkina Faso’s international goalkeeper Hervé Koffi is making a comeback on the French football scene. The latest transfer news confirms his upcoming engagement with RC Lens.
Nicknamed “L’Étalon” (The Stallion), Koffi has already completed the crucial step of the medical examination and is set to sign a four-year contract with Lens. The transfer fee is estimated at a significant sum of 2 million euros.
The current season has been marked by Koffi’s exploits, as he has consistently contributed to his team’s success in the league. His talent and performances even earned him the title of Player of the Month for March 2024. RC Lens, currently positioned 6th in Ligue 1, harbors great hopes of qualifying for European competition next season, and Koffi’s arrival could be a major asset in achieving this ambition.
It’s worth noting that prior to his time in Belgium, Hervé Koffi had already played in the French league, representing Lille in Ligue 1. His return to the French league has thus sparked excitement among fans and observers, who eagerly anticipate seeing the Burkinabé goalkeeper shine once again on French pitches, this time wearing the colors of RC Lens.
