“Abdoulaye Faye has great potential. He has the quality to be an important member of our squad in the future, ” said managing director sport Simon Rolfes. “We see the loan to Lorient as the best option for him to get as much match practice as possible at a high level. That has to be the next step in his development, which we will follow with keen interest.”
