Seko Fofana was Lensois best player on Saturday in the draw against PSG (1-1)
The 26-year-old Ivorian midfielder continues his progression, which began in England and then in Italy.
It is the soul of this generous and brilliant RC Lens which has excited Ligue 1 since the start of the season.
Saturday against PSG, Seko Fofana was the great host of the Blood and Gold by scoring a goal (well helped by Navas) but also by making huge differences in the midfield to lead the Lensoise offensives by dazzling ball returns.
A monstrous match for the Ivorian international, one more for this player considered the best Lensois since the start of the season.
“Paris is one of the best teams in Europe so it's a pride to have shown everyone what we are capable of.
We had a very good game.
I'm glad I scored.
But I'm a little disappointed because I think we had to win this match.
There is nothing to be ashamed of because we have done everything ”, reacted the Racing player after the meeting.
Arrived from Udinese in July 2020
Happy in Lens since his arrival in July 2020, Fofana proves that the Lensois leaders were right to break the bank (10 M €) to bring him to the North.
Because the 26-year-old does not come out of nowhere.
Before disembarking in Artois, Fofana had made a name for himself in Italy where he made the heyday of Udinese for four years.
Trained at Paris FC, this Parisian by birth, who played in the French youth team, will then improve in Lorient before crossing the Channel at the age of 18 to join Manchester City.
If he played with the young people of the club, he will not have his chance with the Citizens who will lend him six months to Fulham (Championship) then a season in Ligue 1 in Bastia in 2015 before transferring him to Italy.
Marseille wanted it in the offseason
Since his return to France, Fofana has been talking about him again to the point that OM made his eyes soft last summer.
But the midfielder feels so good in the North that he preferred to stay one more season to the point of putting aside the Ivorian selection and missing the CAN scheduled for January in Cameroon.
Unless surprised, he should leave the Blood and Gold next summer.
Lens still has six months to take advantage of its nugget.
