This summer, Racing Club of Lens has several priorities. But in recent days, the objective of the Northern leaders was above all to get their hands on a new goalkeeper. It must be said that it was already the case last winter when Brice Samba decided to join the Stade Rennais. To replace him, the Lensois dreamed of Pau Lopez, who no longer played OM. But his arrival had overturned. They therefore fell back on Mathew Ryan last January.
But the Australian international, author of 14 meetings in all competitions (6 clean Sheets, 17 goals conceded), was not unanimous. Even if the 33 -year -old hoped to stay, Lens showed him the exit door and formalized his departure. Hervé Koffi, either, did not fall into the leadership plans and the new coach, Pierre Sage. It is therefore not one, but two doors that the Artesian club was looking for this summer.
Lens recruits Risser
If Régis Gurtner was the priority for the lining station, the quest for a number one was long and strewn with pitfalls. As explained on our site, Yehvann Diouf was one of the Lens n ° 1 targets. But the guardian of Reims preferred to say yes to Nice. Sang and gold have therefore advanced their pawns behind the scenes to get their hands on Robin Risser (20 years), the other priority of the Northerners in this position.
And they ended up achieving their ends since they today formalized the arrival of the French international U21 which belonged to Strasbourg and which was on loan to the Red Star last year. “Promising and talented guardian, shaped through a formative and linear journey, Robin Risser rallies Artois. The native of Colmar and International French Hopes engages with Racing for the next five seasons and will take on the role of goalkeeper number 1 ”said the club press release. A reinforcement expected in Lens, where we want to bet on our talent and youth to write a bright future.
