Chamsedin Kouranfal: Reims’ breakout who coach Usaï fast-tracked

Chamsedin Kouranfal has emerged as one of the early-season surprises for Stade de Reims in Ligue 2. As reported by L'Équipe, the winger was picked up from Regional 1, where he was meant to continue his development, but coach Nicolas Usaï quickly gave him a place in the pro group.

Reims will now put that momentum on the line against Dijon: the match is scheduled for Friday evening at 20:00, for matchday 9 of Ligue 2. It’s another test for a player who has already earned trust at this stage of the campaign.
