Strasbourg, Coventry City, and Nottingham Forest intrested in Angers’ Jacques Ekomié | OneFootball

SCO Angers have been in the habit of selling their best players this season. Esteban Lepaul was sold at the start of the season to Stade Rennais, whilst Sidiki Chérif, one of the players to step up following Lepaul’s exit, left in January to move to Fenerbahce. 

Jacques Ekomié (22) could be the next to depart, as per a report from Foot Mercato. In any case, the Gabon international is attracting plenty of interest ahead of the transfer window opening. RC Strasbourg Alsace, through their BlueCo owners, are in talks to sign the left-back. 

However, there is strong interest from across Europe. In the Premier League, there is interest from Coventry City, recently promoted, and Nottingham Forest. In Germany, there is interest from Hamburg and Schalke 04, whilst in Spain, Villarreal are in the race.

Ekomié is under contract until 2027, but Angers are aware that it will be almost impossible to retain him and have therefore set an asking price between €7-10m.
