According to Eurohoops, the French club has decided to hire Retin Obasohan (1.88m, 29 years old). Last season, the Belgian international back played under with Hapoel Jerusalem and averaged 16.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.1 assists in the Winner League. He joined Chris Babb, Chris Johnson, Nimrod Levi and Chinanu Onuaku in the competition's First Team.

Obasohan started his career with Sidigas Avellino in Italy, moved to the BBL for Bamberg in 2019 and then to the Czech Republic for perennial champs Nymburk.

Thus, after the departures of Elie Okobo and Chris Jones, the French team are replacing these players with Nando De Colo and Retin Obasohan. The Belgian playmaker, who made his mark among the most remarkable stars of the Israeli League, stands out with his high-level athletic skills and scoring abilities.
