The transfer of Brian Brobbey to Rennes has reportedly reached a breakthrough stage after Ajax gave the green light to the move and accepted a formal offer. While personal terms and contract length are yet to be agreed - it is looking increasingly likely that the interested team is about to get one of their top transfer targets signed and sealed. Sunderland and Lille remain in the background, but for now, Rennes are leading the way in ongoing talks. So far this season, Rennes are averaging 1.29 goals scored per game (9 goals /7 games), close to the Ligue 1 average. Brian Brobbey would be expected to help them push higher and add more variety in attack. Speculation continues to connect Ajax with Carlos Soler while no fresh rumours surround Rennes.
