The French club Lens is monitoring Al Ahly's midfielder Imam Ashour in preparation for signing him during the upcoming summer transfer window, given the impressive performances the player has recently delivered with the Red team.

According to the broadcaster Moheb Abdel Hady on his television program, Al Ahly club's management received an official fax from the French club Lens, expressing their interest in signing Emam Ashour. The matter is set to be officially discussed with the opening of the upcoming summer transfer window.

It is noted that the winter transfer window closed in France yesterday, Monday, like in other major European leagues, meaning any official negotiations are postponed until the end of the current season. It is worth mentioning that Lens is in second place in the French league standings with 46 points, two points behind the leader Paris Saint-Germain.

Lance's interest comes at a time when Imam Ashour continues his individual training at Al Ahly club, following a decision to suspend him for two weeks and fine him one and a half million pounds for failing to travel with the team to Tanzania to face Young Africans in the African Champions League.
