Arsène kouassi targeting move away from fc lorient

Arsène Kouassi, the dynamic left-back from Burkina Faso, is set to leave FC Lorient after an impressive 31-match campaign where he contributed 2 goals and 8 assists. His performances have drawn significant interest from clubs across Europe, making him one of the most sought-after defenders on the market.

Over the past month, multiple top European sides have reached out to Lorient regarding Kouassi’s availability. Bayer Leverkusen, VfB Stuttgart, Eintracht Frankfurt, Genoa, and AS Roma have all made inquiries about the Burkinabè international, eager to secure his services for the upcoming season.

Kouassi’s potential move mirrors the recent transfer trajectory of his compatriot Dango Ouattara, who joined Bournemouth—also under the same ownership as Lorient. Should Ouattara’s departure materialize, Kouassi could follow suit, reinforcing the Burkina Faso contingent at the English club. This scenario would create a rare opportunity for the two international teammates to reunite on the pitch.

Unless unforeseen developments arise, the likelihood of Kouassi remaining with Lorient next season appears slim. His market value has been assessed at €15 million, reflecting his rising profile in European football.
