Adrien Thomasson (32) has had a late bloom to become one of Ligue 1’s standout midfielders this season. The RC Lens man tops the assists charts in the league, having set up his teammates ten times this season. 

His performances have helped Lens maintain their place in the title race and put them on the cusp of their first major domestic silverware since the 90s, with a final berth in the Coupe de France. Lens are keen to avoid this season becoming a swan song for Thomasson, with his contract expiring in June. 

According to a report from Foot Mercato, Thomasson has yet to sign a new deal with Les Sang et Or and has been taking his time over the decision. His hesitancy has attracted interest from Paris FC and Stade Rennais, who would be keen to pounce on his free agency and could offer him more lucrative financial rewards. However, they’re not alone; his performances have also caught the attention of clubs in Europe and Saudi Arabia.
