Kerivnytsia Krystal Peles prompted active searches for a new central director. The main reason for entering the transfer market is the high level of confidence in the fact that the team's defensive line is weaker - the transfer of the leader to defender Maxence Lacroix to London's Chelsea is becoming closer and closer. Raphael Le Guen, the 19th-ranked central defender of the French Brest, became Orlov’s priority goal.

Yunak fell on the radar of scouts of the English club after winning a part in the French championship. Le Guen played for the first time for the first team of Brest in the 2025/26 season, having fought six matches against Liza 1. The remaining matches of the season will inevitably begin at the starting warehouse. Among them were the most impressive games against Paris Saint-Germain and Strasbourg.

The London club has already given positive evidence of the integration of young French talents. Last season, Peles successfully signed 19-year-old Jadi Canvot from Toulouse. After the departure of the rich captain Mark Gay, Kanvot herself quickly adapted and became a new reliable support for the team's defense. The club intends to repeat this successful case with Le Guen.

Besides the young citizen of Brest, Londoners are also considering the possibility of signing the central director of the German Augsburg, Chrislen Matsimi..

The 24-year old gravel of the French youth team is considered a clear potential replacement for Lacroix.

It appears that the footballer himself is absolutely ready to move to Selhurst Park. An additional and compelling argument for the benefit of this transfer is the figure of the new head coach Crystal Peles. At the beginning of this summer, the French captain Pierre Sage took over the team, and the prospect of working under the professionalism of the sportsman will certainly attract Matsima.
