Rayan Fofana, a forward trained at Racing Club de Lens, has been loaned to Le Havre for the season without a purchase option. Fofana became a France U21 international during the previous season and will continue his development in Normandy this season as part of the loan.

Rayan Fofana is leaving Lens to join Le Havre for one season as part of a paid loan deal. RMC Sport reports that he has signed his contract after successfully completing his medical.

According to L'Équipe, Rayan Fofana is anticipated to move on loan to Le Havre for the upcoming season. Rayan Fofana, a 20-year-old French-Ivorian RC Lens academy product, is nearing a season-long loan move to Le Havre to get the playing time necessary for his development. While other Ligue 1 clubs and Rangers are also interested in the attacker, Le Havre is his preferred destination and is expected to be his next club. Fofana, who is under contract with Lens until 2029, scored five goals in twenty-five league matches last season. He recently played for fifteen minutes in the Trophée des champions against PSG but was not used in the first Ligue 1 game against AJ Auxerre. The forward has two caps and two goals for the France U21 national team and a current Transfermarkt market value of €8.00m. In August 2026, a report linked to a potential Rangers move rated the player at approximately €8 million, while in February and March 2026, Lens's asking price was reported to be between €35 million and €45 million.
