A few days ago, Bruno Genesio had confirmed that he was interested in him: “He is one of the players we targeted. It fills in a lot of boxes that correspond to what we are looking for. He is a player who knows Ligue 1 and has experience. He is able to play on the side, he is able to play in the axis, he is able to play in several systems. I know that he has had a difficult time in Lyon, I know the context and I tell myself that in a more reassuring context and where he will be more confident, we can revive him.he said at the microphone of RMC Sports.
This season, Karl Toko Ekambi has scored 4 goals and provided 2 assists in 19 appearances. Statistics less impressive than those of last season.
