A real revelation on the side of Vitesse Arnhem last season, Loïs Openda arrives at Racing. At 22, the Belgian neo-international is about to show off his exciting game in Ligue 1 Uber Eats. An invigorating player, all in vivacity and percussion, a formidable finisher, the second Eredivisie scorer (18 goals) signed for 5 years.”
Arnaud Pouille, Managing Director: “We are particularly pleased to welcome Loïs to our ranks. This is a major operation for Racing. Leaving his training club is never a trivial step, my first thanks naturally go to Club Brugge KV who played a very important role in his career. About Loïs, I would like to underline the constancy and the respect of the word. He gave his consent before his first selection, which testifies to his sense of commitment. There has always been a lot of mutual trust in the exchanges, which is a determining factor. Attracting a striker who has just finished second best scorer in the Eredivisie and who is international with a major selection on the international scene is a great satisfaction, welcome to Sang et Or Loïs!”
Florent Ghisolfi, sporting director: “The arrival of Loïs at RC Lens is a huge satisfaction. I would first like to congratulate our teams who worked in each sector to make this recruitment a success. Loïs is a player with great potential,. He was sought out by many European clubs. Above all, he has this offensive aggressiveness in him, which will fit perfectly with the blood and gold DNA. He is ready to do Lens!”
