Demba Ba’s busy week at Le Havre as Josh Maja arrives and Moussa Diarra changes mind

Le Havre have capped a frantic few days with the arrival of former Bordeaux player Josh Maja. Alavés defender Moussa Diarra has, however, changed his mind.

The Normandy side had already welcomed Junior Mwanga and Joan Tincres on Wednesday. According to L'Équipe, Maja followed afterwards as recruitment accelerated.

May already feels a long way off, when Demba Ba first met a representative of Blue Crow Sports, the group that owns Le Havre. Their talks focused on providing head coach Didier Digard with a better performance framework.

Topics included replacing the pitch, refurbishing part of the training centre, and strengthening the performance department.

For Ba, 41, and Digard, those measures were considered essential to launch a different cycle at the club.
