Lens interested in West Ham’s on loan winger Maxwel Cornet | OneFootball

According to a report from L’Équipe, RC Lens are considering a move to bring West Ham United’s Maxwel Cornet (28) back to France.

Cornet left Ligue 1 four years ago when he was signed by Burnley FC from Olympique Lyonnais in a €15 million move. He impressed during his lone season in the north of England ending the year as the club’s top scorer. However, Burnley were relegated to the Championship and West Ham acted quickly to sign the winger for €20 million.

His stay in London has been far less impressive and during the summer he was loaned out to Southampton FC. So far Cornet has only made four appearances for Southampton and has spent the majority of his time excluded from the matchday squad.

L’Équipe writes that Lens have made enquiries into the player. However, it has not been disclosed in what shape a possible deal will be made.
