Moffi to face Rennes despite ongoing transfer tussle

Terem Moffi has been included in Lorient’s squad for Friday’s Ligue 1 clash against Stade Rennes despite ongoing transfer tussle for his services.

FC Lorient will take on Stade Rennes in a French Ligue One Matchday 20 encounter at the Stade Yves Allainmat- Le Moustoir on Friday January 27.

Lorient Manager Régis Le Bris included the Nigeria international in the 21-man squad despite speculation surrounding his future.

Moffi has been linked with a move to Olympique Marseille, OGC Nice and West Ham in the current transfer window.

The 23-year-turned Nigerian forward reportedly turned down a move to Olympic Marseille despite the French club agreeing a player plus cash deal with Lorient.

Moffi is instead said to favour a move to OGC Nice but his preferred have failed to match Lorient’s valuation of the Eagle.

Terem Moffi has scored 12 goals in 18 league appearances for Les Merlus this season to help the club to 7th spot on the French Ligue One standing.
