  1. I was reading about Medina in totalfootballanalysis.com . He seems to have all the needed traits as per that scout report. Just will need more exposure & keep developing to be a serious threat for NT spot. He has speed , aerial presence & good ball playing skills. What needs to be tested is how good is all this when he goes to a higher level. Good that he is joning a Ligue 1 bound club & will be great to see how he develops.

  2. Lens were promoted to Ligue 1. I just hope he gets plenty of game time. He will have to improve greatly to get past Senesi, Quarta, Romero and Balerdi.

  3. In which division plays lens? I doubt it playing in ligue 1, I suppose ligue 2 most probably.
