Les Gones’ match against Clermont tomorrow night could be his last. Two years ago, he had been the target of various clubs across Europe – with Pep Guardiola a fan in particular.

Since then, injuries and inconsistent form have seen his stock fall. His 11 goal contributions in 44 games this season is a marked decrease from previous campaigns. He nevertheless still has interest from abroad, with rumours pointing to contacts with The Foxes.
