Anthony Bermont will spend the upcoming season on loan at Angers from Lens, the clubs have confirmed. The 21-year-old winger will join Angers without an option for a permanent transfer, according to L’Équipe. Bermont’s contract with Lens runs until 2029, having begun his professional career with the northern French club.
This move comes after Bermont spent the 2024-2025 season on loan at Annecy in Ligue 2, where he made 33 appearances, scoring two goals and providing one assist. He featured eleven times with the Lens first team last season, but appears to be seeking more consistent playing time. Angers, recently relegated to Ligue 2, will be hoping Bermont can contribute immediately to their promotion push.
Bermont progressed through the youth ranks at Lens, establishing himself as a promising talent within the club’s academy. While he has shown glimpses of potential during his appearances for both Lens and Annecy, a consistent run of games is seen as crucial for his development. The loan to Angers provides that opportunity, allowing him to test himself in a competitive environment.
The decision to loan Bermont reflects Lens’s current squad depth in wide positions, as well as their desire to provide the young player with valuable experience. For Angers, the arrival of Bermont adds another attacking option as they rebuild following their relegation from Ligue 1. The loan deal could prove beneficial for all parties involved, potentially paving the way for a more permanent move in the future should Bermont impress.
