Florian Sotoca

Florian Sotoca attacks space for Lens, peeling off the backline and offering a running outlet. Sotoca's pace and vision shift Lens' attack as he drops to link play and press high. Sotoca checks short then spins in behind. In 2019 he joined RC Lens from Grenoble. He helped Lens win promotion in 2020 and later scored a Ligue 1 hat-trick in 2022. In 2023/24 he debuted in the Champions League, starting six matches and providing an assist. Sotoca's role has evolved into a box-to-box presence, combining stamina and ball use to influence both ends. He presses from the front and finishes moves when space opens.
