SCO Angers are preparing for another major departure this summer. The Ligue 1 side has already sold key players this season, including Esteban Lepaul who joined Stade Rennais and Sidiki Chérif who moved to Fenerbahce in January. Now, left-back Jacques Ekomié looks set to follow them out of the door.
The 22-year-old Gabon international is attracting attention from several top leagues across Europe. According to reports, RC Strasbourg Alsace are currently in talks to sign the defender. The club’s owners, BlueCo, are pushing to bring Ekomié to the Stade de la Meinau.
However, the race for his signature is heating up. In England, newly promoted Coventry City and Nottingham Forest have both shown strong interest in securing his services. German clubs Hamburger SV and FC Schalke 04 are also watching the situation closely, while La Liga side Villarreal remain in the hunt.
Ekomié is tied to Angers until 2027, but the club accepts that keeping him will prove difficult. They have placed a price tag of €7 million to €10 million on the young defender. This fee reflects his potential and the growing competition for his signature.
The versatile full-back has impressed with his defensive work and ability to support attacks down the left flank. His performances have made him one of the most sought-after prospects in French football this summer.
