It's a new face that isn't really one.
On Tuesday, FC Chambly announced the arrival of Bastian Badu, the Montpellier striker (L 1), in the form of a loan without an option to buy.
The 20-year-old center forward had already been loaned to the oisien club during the last winter transfer window.
He had not really had time to make an impression, since the season had been interrupted due to the health crisis when he had played only four games without finding the net, including only two starts in front of Caen and Châteauroux.
In the Montpellier jersey, he has so far only grabbed eight short minutes in the Elite, on October 26, 2019 against Angers, when he had just signed his first professional contract.

“Badu was very motivated to come back to us, and he showed great potential last season despite his young age,” considers president Fulvio Luzi.
He knows the house, and he is from Val-d'Oise (Editor's note: Ézanville).
He made a big preparation with Montpellier, we were OK for him to come back.
This gives us an additional solution in attack.

The Camblys summer transfer window should end there.
“We left to stay with this group of players, breathes Fulvio Luzi.
But if we are offered another Ligue 1 player who does not cost us too much… ”Chambly is in particular in contact with FC Metz (L 1) for a possible loan from Lamine Gueye, a striker who scored 14 goals last season in National with Pau.
But the financial aspect could be a problem, at a time when the Ligue 2 club is rather looking to save money.
