Brest reshape wide options as Ludovic Ajorque stays put for Le Havre trip | OneFootball

Stade Brestois have overhauled their wide attacking options during the window, while keeping Ludovic Ajorque up front, as they visit Le Havre on Saturday at 20:45 in Ligue 1 matchday three.

Ajorque remains at the club, with his deal running to 30 June 2027. L'Équipe reports that Brest accelerated business early this week, particularly in attack.

Coach Julien Lachuer favours a 4-2-3-1 in which width is key, and that area has been transformed. Romain Del Castillo, 30, has departed after featuring in every campaign since 2021, including Europe.

On the right, the left-footer leaves a hole that could yet be filled by Mama Baldé. A move to Houston in MLS fell through, and the Bissau-Guinean, hampered by injuries among other issues, still has to win his place. Lachuer said the forward is happy to be here and will try to give everything.

Rémy Labeau Lascary has returned to Lens, who have sent him on loan to Auxerre, and Axel Camblan has joined Estoril. Three reinforcements have arrived for the flanks, led by Giovani Versini from Pau on Wednesday. The 22-year-old, developed at OM, is set for a Ligue 1 debut and profiles closest to Del Castillo.

Noah Edjouma has joined on loan from Lille to seek minutes. The Under-21 international has 25 Ligue 1 appearances, four starts, and could switch to the left, where Pathé Mboup, 22, has established himself this summer. Mboup remains raw, with one goal in 30 Ligue 1 matches.

Djylian N'Guessan, 18, was first loaned by Saint-Étienne then by Liverpool, who have since bought him. With only 13 senior outings, including eight in Ligue 1 and three in Ligue 2 last term, the versatile, mainly central talent is not ready. Lachuer noted he had no pre-season and said the refresh brings energy.
