The transfer that we first announced this week has been officially confirmed – but interestingly, not by Celje. Instead, it was confirmed by the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS). According to the official documents of the governing organization, the new member of the club from the princely city is Clement Lhernault. He is a 21-year-old midfielder coming to Slovenia from Armenia, the country where Celje will attempt to make significant progress towards the autumn in Europe next week.
Celje’s opponent will be the champion Pyunik, and Clement Lhernault has so far played for Ararat from Yerevan, which finished last season in 6th place in the local championship. A former France U-16 international, he signed for Ararat last September, having previously played for Nancy. In Armenia, he played 17 matches and scored 3 goals for the first team of his now-former club. Before that, he also played 40 matches for Nancy’s reserve team in the fifth French league, scoring 9 times. He also made three appearances for Nancy’s first team, scoring three goals; all in the French Cup.
As mentioned, Clement Lhernault will now continue his career in the Prva Liga Telemach, but it will certainly be interesting to see if he will temporarily return to Armenia soon. If Albert Riera includes him in the European squad for both matches against Pyunik, then there will be no doubt why he came to Celje. To replace captain Denis Popović? It is likely a thought not far from the truth…
