Beşiktaş target Lens centre-back Jonathan Gradit | OneFootball

According to a report from RMC Sport, Beşiktaş are targeting RC Lens centre-back Jonathan Gradit (32).

Lens have suffered serious upheaval to their defensive line this winter as both their starting centre-backs Abudkodir Khusanov (20) and Kevin Danso (26) have exited the club following offers from Premier League teams (Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur respectively).

Lens are reluctant to lose a third centre-back before the window shuts in France at midnight. However, Gradit whose agent has struck out at his playing time under summer appointment Will Still is reportedly open to listening to offers from other clubs.

Gradit saw a dramatic decline in his game time since Still took over in the summer. This has been somewhat remedied with the defender picked as a starter in the two most recent league games (Gradit was also given the captain’s armband for the weekend victory over Montpellier).
