Samson Baidoo is about to start a fresh chapter in his young career with a move to French side RC Lens.

The 21-year-old Austrian-Ghanaian defender has reportedly completed his medical after arriving in Artois and is excited about the new adventure.

Baidoo is switching from Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg, where he built a solid reputation as a tough, athletic centre-back.

Lens and Salzburg have agreed on an €8 million fee, including bonuses.
