Hervé Koffi set to join Union Saint-Gilloise on loan from Lens

Hervé Koffi, the 29-year-old goalkeeper from RC Lens, is poised to join Union Saint-Gilloise, as reported by La DH. The move is anticipated to be a loan deal that includes an option to purchase. Koffi recently demonstrated his skills during a successful loan spell at SCO Angers, where he gained recognition as one of Ligue 1’s top goalkeepers. Returning to Lens, he faces competition from Robin Risser, which has led to speculation about his future. Koffi has prior experience in Belgium, having played for Royal Excel Mouscron and Royal Charleroi SC, and this transfer will also offer him the chance to compete in the Champions League after replacing Kjell Scherpen, who transferred to Ipswich Town this summer.
