Celta’s Lemos joins Lens

Celta Vigo midfielder Alvaro Lemos has joined French second division outfit RC Lens on a season-long loan, the Galician club have confirmed.

The 24-year-old joined Celta on a five-year deal last summer after stints at fellow Galicia clubs Compostela and Lugo, but made only five La Liga appearances last season.

The Ligue 2 side will have the option to buy the right winger at the conclusion of his loan, although no economic figures were released by Os Celestes in their statement.
