In a significant turn of events, RC Lens winger Przemysław Frankowski has decided to reject an enticing offer from Premier League club West Ham United and has instead committed his future to the French club. The Polish international has extended his contract with Lens for an additional four years, securing his stay until 2029.
Frankowski, who has been a standout performer for Lens since joining from Chicago Fire in 2021, was a key figure in the team’s rise to prominence in Ligue 1. Known for his pace, dribbling ability, and creativity on the wing, he has become a crucial part of Franck Haise’s attacking setup. His performances caught the attention of several top European clubs, with West Ham reportedly making a strong push to lure him to the Premier League.
Despite the allure of playing in England’s top flight, Frankowski has chosen to remain at Lens, a club that has seen significant growth under Haise’s leadership. The decision comes at a time when Lens is aiming to build on its recent success and challenge the established order in French football, with Frankowski playing a pivotal role in those ambitions.
Speaking about his decision, Frankowski expressed his excitement about the future at Lens. “I feel at home here, and the club’s project is one that excites me. I believe we can achieve great things together,” he said. The extended contract is seen as a statement of intent from both the player and the club, reaffirming Lens’ aspirations to continue competing at the highest level in Ligue 1.
Frankowski’s decision to stay in Lens is a major boost for the club, who now look to push for European qualification and further strengthen their squad for the upcoming seasons.
