Lens Eyeing Cengiz Ünder as Transfer Window Nears End

According to recent reports, RC Lens is making a late push to acquire Fenerbahçe winger Cengiz Ünder before the winter transfer window closes on Monday. The French club, led by Will Still, is still in the market for attacking reinforcements after previously showing interest in Southampton’s Kamaldeen Sulemana.

Ünder, 27, is no stranger to Ligue 1, having played for Marseille from 2021 to 2023. The Turkish international joined Fenerbahçe 18 months ago for €15 million on a four-year contract set to expire in 2027. However, under José Mourinho’s management, Ünder has seen limited playing time this season, accumulating only 162 minutes on the field.

Sources suggest that Fenerbahçe is open to negotiations for Ünder’s transfer. This potential move could provide Lens with added firepower in their attacking lineup and offer Ünder a chance to revitalize his career in a familiar league.

As the transfer deadline approaches, all eyes will be on whether Lens can successfully bring the former Roma and Brighton player back to French football.
