Lorient still chasing reinforcements to double every position | OneFootball

New Lorient head coach Alexandre Dujeux, who arrived from Angers this summer, hopes to add several more recruits to bolster his squad and to double every position.

Up to Saturday's 0-0 at Nice, he was still awaiting five signings, with an emphasis on attack. According to L'Équipe, that remains the short-term plan.

Danish winger Isak Jensen has joined on loan from AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands. Another attacking addition is expected, along with a creative midfielder.

At the back, Lorient are targeting left-footers, initially a left-back and possibly a centre-back. Isaak Touré, after an injury-hit year, could be an alternative. There is strong talk of a loan for Italian defender Nosa Obaretin, 23, who belongs to Naples.

Dujeux ran pre-season with a back four, then switched on Saturday to a back five, a 3-4-3 similar to last season, a change that is shaping recruitment.
