ASSE is continuing its research to strengthen a team whose entire foundations need to be rethought. In defense, after having concentrated his efforts on the centrals, it is on the side of the side that it could move …
If the central defense of ASSE remains a huge project that could move forward with the scheduled arrivals of Anthony Briançon and Jimmy Giraudon, the other positions also need to be strengthened. Thus, despite the presence at the club of Gabriel Silva, Miguel Trauco and even Yvann Maçon, ASSE is prospecting for a left side.
According to information from @ GaelB42ASSE would look into the profile of Ismaël Boura who has just completed a season in Le Havre where he was on loan from RC Lens.
At the time, the 21-year-old, who lived in Haute-Vienne, was looking for more playing time.
Boura, who signed his first professional contract in April 2020 at RC Lens, made his Ligue 1 debut with the Sang et Or in August 2020 in Nice. “During the 2020/21 season, he took part in 20 games, including 8 as a starter. Last season, the left winger had to settle for 92 minutes of play in five matches for Lens. Barred by Massadio Haïdara and international recruits Deyver Machado and Przemyslaw Frankowski, Ismaël Boura left to find playing time and continue his progress within the oldest club of French football. as indicated The Popular.
The player himself explained his choice to join Le Havre last fall: “Lens recruited for my position, it was complicated to get a place. I started against Rennes on the first day, I played 90 minutes and it went well. But afterwards, the coach made his choices and I respect. I was comfortable, I had no pressure, I play my football, I don’t put pressure on myself like since I was little. I give the maximum and I have zero regret. I’ve already played 25 L1 games, I didn’t expect it. I didn’t give up and in the end it paid off.
As soon as my agent told me that Le Havre was on me, I gave my answer. In Lens, it was complicated to have playing time. I told my agent: if it’s the HAC who calls me, I’ll go there without hesitation. I called Loïc Badé who was at the club before, he told me that the HAC was a very good club, an L1 club, which has nothing to do in L2. I had other touches, but everyone knows Le Havre, it’s a big club. The team is running well, the defense too, it’s a positive pressure. It motivates me even more to train with them and show the fans and the club that they can count on me. I am ready to take up the challenge and win with the HAC.”
A side who quickly imposed himself in the eyes of Paul Le Guen
In his end-of-season report, Lensois.com explains that “Ismaël Boura wasted no time at the HAC in Ligue 2 as he quickly established himself in Paul Le Guen’s plans by playing good matches. He played 16 league games, all as a starter, for a goal scored. His playing time could have been longer if not for an ankle injury that spoiled his end to the season, as he suddenly played his last match on April 9, missing the last 6. HAC finished 8th, quite far from 5th qualifying place for the play-offs, Sochaux finishing 18 points in front.
As a reminder, Laurent Batlles does not want loaned players in his squad. There is therefore a strong chance that the Greens will seek to enlist the young Lensois rather than asking the Northerners for a new loan. He is currently valued by the Transfermarkt platform at 1.5 million euros.
