The French Ligue 1 club has attempted to strengthen its defence with the signing of 19-year-old Swedish-born Gambian talent Malcolm Jeng, as per the team’s official website.
The young central defender joins from Swedish top-tier side IK Sirius.
A Rising Defensive Talent
Standing at 1.90 meters, Jeng is known for his composure, ball-playing ability, and tactical intelligence. His left-footed precision and confidence in starting attacks from the back align perfectly with modern football trends. Despite his young age, Jeng has already displayed strong leadership qualities and excellent defensive organisation.
High Praise from Reims
Reims’ Sporting Director, Pol-Edouard Caillot, highlighted Jeng’s potential, stating:
“Malcolm has exceptional game intelligence, a calm presence, and precise passing abilities. While he can improve in aerial duels, his potential is enormous, and we’re confident he’ll become a key part of our defence.”
The financial details of the deal remain undisclosed.
