The return of Junior Firpo to Real Betis has represented a significant change in the sports management plans to strengthen the left-back position. With the arrival of the former Leeds player, the need for a deep renovation in that role has lost urgency, although the addition of a second player to complete the rotation is not ruled out. For this to happen, departures must occur, especially those of Romain Perraud, who could return to France, and Ricardo Rodríguez, whose continuity is not guaranteed.

In this new scenario, Manu Fajardo works with less pressure but with a clear goal: to find a young profile, with growth potential, that can represent a profitable investment in the medium term. Under these parameters, as reported by EstadioDeportivo, the name of Jacques Ekomié has emerged, a promising 21-year-old left-back currently playing for the French team Angers.

Youth and power for the left wing

Ekomié, a full international with Gabon, stands out for his physical ability and versatility, as he can also play as a midfielder. Last season, he lacked continuity due to a knee injury, but he eventually regained importance in the final stretch, making 21 appearances and nearly a thousand minutes in total.

His affordable price—around one million euros—makes the young African a attractive option to take on a secondary role behind Junior Firpo. However, Betis is not alone in the bidding: Hoffenheim and Chicago Fire are also closely monitoring his progress. The competition will be tough.
