Le Havre to sign Lens striker Rayan Fofana on loan

RC Lens centre-forward Rayan Fofana (20) will spend the 2026-2027 campaign on loan at Ligue 1 rivals Le Havre, as reported by RMC Sport. The 20-year-old Franco-Ivorian was a man in demand this summer. Several Ligue 1 clubs, as well as Glasgow Rangers, were interested in his services with RC Lens already packed with options up front the likes of Franjo Ivanovic, Abdallah Sima or Odsonne Edouard. Fofana logged five goals in 25 Ligue 1 games played with his formative side, with which he’s under contract until 2029.

RMC Sport reports that Fofana has signed his contract and passed his medical this Sunday. The 20-year-old could make his debut with Didier Digard’s side next Saturday against Brest at Stade Océane. Le Havre conceded a 1-1 draw at Lyon on Saturday. Fofana’s loan move to Le Havre does not include any option to buy.
