RC Lens is reportedly interested in acquiring Maxwel Cornet, who is currently on loan at Southampton from West Ham. Cornet has been struggling to get playing time, having accumulated only 187 minutes in four appearances for Southampton. His contract with West Ham is valid until 2027. The 28-year-old Ivorian international, who departed Lyon four years ago, might have the opportunity to return to Ligue 1 as Lens assesses the feasibility of his transfer. This season, Cornet has played 71 minutes in the Premier League and 116 minutes in the League Cup. Additionally, Lens is considering Nathan Ngoumou as an option to bolster their wings.
