More than a year after leaving Minnesota United in MLS, Adrien Hunou returns to France! Indeed, according to our information, the 28-year-old versatile striker, born in Evry, gave his agreement to Angers, late Wednesday evening. Other teams, Lorient in particular, were in line to welcome him, but the former Rennais opted for the SCO which, through its sports coordinator Laurent Boissier, has worked hard in recent days for the convince.
The operation was finalized around a loan with an option to buy. Adrien Hunou will probably be in Angers by the weekend to join the Scoist club, 14th in Ligue 1 last season.
Angers is wasting no time this summer, as it has already completed most of its transfer window, with the signing of goalkeeper Yahia Fofana and Himad Abdelli, both free from Le Havre (L2), Slovenian international defender Miha Blazic (Ferencváros) and Amine Salama, the striker revealed in Dunkirk. Also, we confirmed on Wednesday that an agreement has been reached with Sarajevo right-back Halid Sabanovic who will be present for the resumption of training next week.
In addition, discussions are continuing with Achraf Dari, a 23-year-old Moroccan international defender who plays at Wydad Casablanca. Pending an agreement, Angers is hopeful of finalizing its signature but several details still remain to be settled in this file.
