Eric Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Rennes midfielder Yacine Brahimi has admitted he is ready to quit the club after Aston Villa reportedly made a move for his services. The talented 22-year-old is a playmaker or winger, originally schooled at Clairefontaine before going through the youth system at Paris St Germain and Rennes. Brahimi, who made his first-team debut for Rennes in 2009, has played for France at every age group from Under-16 to Under-21 - although he could yet switch his international allegiance to Algeria. Club wise Brahimi has admitted he is ready to leave Rennes after starting just six league games last season, despite being regarded very highly. "They do not count on me at Rennes," he told RMC. "With the style of play there are times where I don't play - our relationship is broken now and I have reached the point of no return." Borussia Monchengladbach and Sochaux have both been strongly linked, but French sources claim that Paul Lambert is keen to snap him up and has made an offer to loan the player for a season with a view to a permanent deal next summer. clicky Has any of you seen him play?

GarethRDR Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Most likely wind up at Sochaux as Marvin Martin's replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hercs23 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Looks like a good exciting winger to me and the price been named is 2.5mil. Bargain. Why havent we always bought from abroad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I honestly have never seen Brahimi play but a quick look at his stats tell us he's been capped at every level for the French except the full squad yet he's still only 22 years old. In his two seasons and 68 games playing in Ligue 1 he's scored 14 goals which is a good return for midfield. At 2.5million this could be a steal.

Mattyp_avfc Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 get him in PL would be a good signing based on stats and the look of him on Youtube! Could go wrong but tbh we would recoup most of the £2.5million! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played 39 games (19 as a sub) in Ligue 1 since returning from second-tier Clermont Foot three years ago, scoring 6 and creating 4. Add in domestic/international cup games for the last two seasons and it's 54 games, 9 goals and 5 assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eames Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Where is the quote from? Credible source? Sky Sports webpage Some say he's a short black pacey winger/front man, and that he has a striking resemblance to an English pacey winger/front man that left Villa last season..... All we know is...... he's NOT Ashley Young, But he is Ashley's French equivilent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMcGrath_5 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Looks a good player with a lot more potential still to come. The price looks good and would be another shrewd signing to go along with El Ahmadi - Yes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 We need another winger, just so players like Albrighton know that they have to improve to get a place in the side. When he had the likes of Downing and Young in the side, he knew he had to be at the top of his game, last season he knew even if he played shit. Lambert for me will use the squad.
