RC Lens Mercato: Announced on departure, Jonathan Clauss could continue his career in the Premier League where he is interested in a cador.
RC Lens Mercato: A Premier League giant on the lookout for Clauss
as his captain Seko Fofana (on the PSG shelves), Jonathan Clauss is a serious candidate for the start at Racing Club de Lens. The tricolor right-back has only one year left on his contract with RC Lens. The management of Blood and Gold does not intend to retain him this summer for fear of seeing him leave for free in a year. The Lensois side is not lacking in suitors. In England, Chelsea’s interest in Clauss had recently been revealed by The Daily Mail. Like the Blues, their rivals Tottenham would also be interested in the most decisive Blood and Gold of the past season. The 29-year-old defender finished the season with 5 goals and 11 assists. Something to catch the eye of Spurs qualified as the Blues for the Champions League next season.
The succession of Clauss already assured in Lens
But as indicated Sky Sport, Jonathan Clauss would not be the priority at right-back for Tottenham. The North London club would track in priority Grandpa Spence, 21-year-old full-back playing for promoted Nottingham Forest. The Premier League 4th is also said to have his sights on Wilfried Singo, 21-year-old Ivorian international playing for Torino. It remains to be seen where the defender of Racing Club de Lens will drop off his bags this summer. His sale could bring 15 million euros to RC Lens according to Transfermarkt.
Pending the transfer of Jonathan Clauss, Racing has already ensured his succession. Jimmy Cabot was recruited from Angers SCO where he only had one year left on his contract. The artesian club paid 2 million euros to complete his transfer.
