Le Havre AC : a young player on his way to Nancy
Le Havre AC : 20-year-old striker Noam Obougou reportedly set to join AS Nancy-Lorraine on loan, expected to get more playing time.
Why it matters for Le Havre AC
The departure of Noam Obougou could be a blow for Le Havre AC, which needs experienced players to stay in Ligue 1.
What comes next?
Le Havre AC should look to replace Noam Obougou with another experienced player to stay in Ligue 1.
Le Havre AC is currently 14th in Ligue 1 with 29 points, 6 wins, 11 draws and 12 losses in 29 matches. They are 34 points behind the leaders Paris Saint-Germain. This season, they have scored 24 goals and conceded 37, giving a -13 goal difference.
The young striker Noam Obougou is set to leave Le Havre temporarily to join AS Nancy-Lorraine on loan. He had previously declined a possibility of joining US Boulogne. Formed at HAC, Obougou has mostly impressed with the reserve team last season before getting his first opportunities with the professionals. He has appeared six times with the first team without getting a single start, but has still managed to be decisive, notably by scoring against Angers and causing a penalty against Paris FC. At Nancy, the 20-year-old striker should get more playing time to continue his progress under Oswald Tanchot. He will also meet another former Havrais in attack, Ilyes Housni. The definitive terms of the operation and the possible presence of an option to buy in the loan remain to be known.
