RC Lens are working hard to bring FC Lorient forward Pablo Pagis to their club during this transfer window. The 23-year-old has told reporters that he wants to find a new team after a successful spell with Les Merlus.
Pagis enjoyed an excellent campaign in the French top flight. He found the net 10 times and set up 5 goals in 32 appearances across all competitions. His performances played a key role in helping Lorient secure their position in Ligue 1 following their promotion the previous year.
Several clubs have shown interest in signing the young attacker. Stade Rennais, Olympique Lyonnais and Paris FC all want to secure his services. However, Pagis prefers to remain in France rather than move to a foreign league.
Lens offer an attractive option for the player. The club will return to the UEFA Champions League next season after securing qualification. This makes them an appealing destination for talents seeking top-level European football.
Lorient face a difficult summer ahead. They will lose manager Olivier Pantaloni, while top scorer Bamba Dieng appears set for a move to the Bundesliga. Now Pagis also looks likely to depart the club.
According to journalist Mohamed Toubache-Ter, Lens are increasing their efforts to complete the deal quickly before other clubs make their move.
