Ghanaian international Salis Abdul Samed has finalized a move to French Ligue 1 side RC Lens from Clermont Foot ahead of the upcoming season.
The 22 year old was officially unveiled after passing all mandatory tests and has signed a five years contract for a fee around €5million plus add ons.
The JMG Academy product was outstanding for the Lancers in the just ended campaign having made over 30 appearances in the league with two goals to his belt and played a vital role in helping them securing survival in the French topflight.
Having finalized the deal, club Sporting Director Florent Ghisolfi has lauded the signing of the lanky midfielder and sees him as a perfect fit for their project.
"We are happy to finalise the arrival of Salis, a player we have been following very closely for many months. He was our priority in this position: a player who has a lot of pace, a lot of running and a lot of intensity. Salis is a complete midfielder, influential in both defensive and offensive aspects, but with a lot of potential for development. His qualities, his commitment and his generosity make Salis a perfect fit for our project.”
He is expected to join his new teammates very soon to begin preseason ahead of the 2022/23 season.
