Franjo Ivanovic becomes Lens' latest signing. The 22-year-old Croatian striker arrives on loan from Benfica with an option to purchase, according to L'Équipe.
The deal has been completed in recent days, keeping with the Racing Club de Lens' preference for quietly wrapping up transfers before announcing them. The paid loan includes a purchase option whose financial details remain undisclosed.
Ivanovic, who has earned 9 caps for the Croatian national team and scored 2 goals, will arrive in northern France in the coming days. The forward becomes Lens' answer to their ongoing search for a striker to bolster the squad.
