Rayan Fofana

Fofana signed a contract extension with Lens until 2029, the club announced. "Rayan is a talented player and a young man deeply committed to our values. He has established himself at the start of this season as a credible option for the coach thanks to his technical skills, his tireless work ethic, and his engaging personality. Through daily training, he still needs to become more efficient and mature in his decision-making; this is precisely the reason for this contract extension, which demonstrates the club's confidence in him by continuing to support his development. Beyond his individual qualities, he is a representative of the Gaillette academy's training program and should serve as a role model for the young players at the center," said Sporting Director Jean-Louis Leca.
