Ghanaian forward Grejohn Kyei was in action for Lens in their 2-0 defeat against parent club Stade Reims in the French Cup.

The 23-year-old, who is on loan from Reims lasted the entire duration of the game at the Stade Auguste-Delaune.

It had been reported that Ghanaian youngster will be left out of the team due to contract agreement between the two sides.

He has made nine appearances and scored two goals for Lens so far in all competition.

He is a youth exponent from Stade de Reims. He made his Ligue 1 debut on 12 April 2015 against OGC Nice replacing Nicolas de Préville after 74 minutes in a 0–1 home defeat.

Kyei helped Stade de Reims win the 2017–18 Ligue 2 and promote to the Ligue 1 for the 2018–19 season.

In August 2018, Kyei joined Ligue 2 club RC Lens on loan for the season with Lens securing an option to sign him permanently.

He was born in France and is of Ghanaian descent. He is a one-time youth international for France.
