Lens will face PSG in the Trophée des champions on 16 August. Cuisance's signing is a testament to the club's willingness to take risks on players who have the potential to make a comeback. He was once a European champion with Bayern at the age of 21, but his career has been marked by ups and downs.
Cuisance claims to have found himself as a person and has been able to stay focused and engaged, even in intense training sessions. During a session in Monza on 30 July, he was the only player who had the energy to debate with assistant coach Bilal Hamdi about an arbitration error in a small match. His ability to stay focused has impressed Lens, who are now looking to see if he can replicate his past form.
Lens' decision to sign Cuisance has been influenced by his determination to prove himself. He was attracted to the Bundesliga at 18 years old and has since experienced a mix of highs and lows. The French club will be watching Cuisance closely as he looks to make a positive impact in the Trophée des champions against PSG.
