Ghana international, Salis Abdul Samed is already being applauded for his performance at the new club RC Lens.
The talented midfielder joined the French Ligue 1 side from Clermont Foot in the summer.
He was signed to replace midfielder Cheick Doucouré who was being transferred to English Premier League outfit Crystal Palace.
According to the editorial staff at Lensois.com, Ghana’s Salis Abdul Samed has done a good job after replacing Cheick Doucouré.
“He’s on the right track, but he may not be there yet. We did not necessarily expect Salis Abdul Samed so quickly at this level. His impact in the midfield is obvious and his association with Seko Fofana worked very quickly. Even in the absence of the latter, he is able to pull the Lensois midfield up, as against Lorient. His level of recovery performance is now similar to that of a Cheick Doucouré, but the latter marked us a lot with his ability to shine without real downtime for a whole season, in addition to an accuracy that had been refined with the time in offensive contribution. It therefore remains for Salis Abdul Samed to confirm that he is capable of maintaining such a level over an entire season where Cheick Doucouré provided real guarantees at this level,” Christopher Schaad said while sharing his opinion.
Eloise De Mester also said, “Salis Abdul Samed has established himself in a few weeks as one of the sure values of this artesian team. As proof, an entry tenure against Brest for the first official match of the season. 90 minutes under his belt. And the situation will repeat itself without interruption until the truce. Eight matches for the Ghanaian, still a starter and never replaced during the game. His arrival and his performance even prompted the promising Patrick Berg to leave the ship only six months after his arrival. However, this player still lacks that little offensive touch that could make him a new argument in front of goal. We remember a Cheick Doucouré who tried a little more, from a distance, when he opened up a striking angle. For the moment, Abdul Samed is content to do his job at the back of the block. To replace the Douc’, it will take a little more. And above all, keep up the pace.”
Abdul Salis Samed has been working hard and hopes to help RC Lens achive its goals at the end of the season.
