Black Stars midfielder Abdul Salis Samed has garnered attention from several English Premier League clubs due to his exceptional performances in the French Ligue 1 with RC Lens since his arrival from Clermont Foot in 2022.

The 23-year-old defensive midfielder has been instrumental in Lens' midfield, catching the eye of clubs such as Brighton, Wolves, and Fulham.

Samed is currently tied to RC Lens under a long-term contract until 2028, making any potential transfer a significant financial commitment for interested English clubs.

The outcome of potential negotiations between Lens and the EPL clubs, coupled with Samed's openness to a move, will heavily influence the possibility of a transfer.

A product of the JMG Academy in 2021, Samed has swiftly risen to prominence as one of the top defensive midfielders in the French Ligue 1 in recent years.

He enjoyed regular playing time at Clermont Foot before his move to Lens, contributing to their qualification for European football by securing a second-place finish behind PSG last season.

Samed also represented the Ghanaian national team in the 2022 World Cup and the recently concluded 2023 AFCON, further solidifying his status as a rising talent in African football.
