Coventry City, who were recently promoted to the Premier League and are managed by Frank Lampard, have a strong interest in Jacques Ekomié, a 22-year-old left wing-back from Angers. The club faces significant competition for the player, who is a Gabonese international with 21 caps for his country. Nottingham Forest are also interested, and Schalke 04 and Hamburg from Germany are observing the situation. Reports indicate that discussions with RC Strasbourg are advancing positively. A transfer to Villarreal in Spain is another option, and it is said that this project is especially appealing to the player.
Angers understands it will be challenging to retain Ekomié, whose contract extends until 2027. The player joined the club in July 2024 and, according to Transfermarkt, has a current market value of €7 million. Angers aims to obtain a transfer fee between €7 million and €10 million.
