TRANSFERS Olivier Renard appears to be getting in Malang Sarr, a French-Senegalese defender. Sarr looks set to make the switch from RC Lens to Lotto Park. An agreement has been reached between the two clubs, and Sarr would be offered a two-year contract, with the option for a third year. Sarr is seen as the successor to Jan Vertonghen, who has ended his career.
The 26-year-old defender, who previously played for Chelsea, FC Porto and AS Monaco, played 23 games for RC Lens last season and has a market value of about 5 million euros.
Sarr is left footed and thus possesses baking experience. He has also been active for France's youth teams. His arrival should become the key piece in the defense.
