Brest were in the market for a centre-forward after Steve Mounié (29) left Eric Roy’s side as a free agent to sign for Bundesliga side Augsburg. Les Pirates were reportedly competing with Ligue 1 rivals Lille for the signing of Ajorque, whose transfer fee ranges between €4m and €5m. Ajorque will wear the #19 jersey for his new team. Brest are set to play in the revamped 8-game Champions League group stage courtesy of their unexpected third-place finish last season.
