23yr old French striker confirmed dead while returning from training

French striker Nathael Julan, 23, has been confirmed dead in a car accident by his club FC Guingamp while returning from training.

The young striker had lost control of his car, which resulted to the accident on the road to Pordic, according to local reports.

The French ligue 2 side has shared their condolences with the family and reported that their scheduled friendly tie on the 5th of January against Concarneau has been suspended due to the tragic news.

Nathael Julan who had started his career at Le Havre, joined Guingamp in 2018, and featured 11 times before going on loan for the rest of the 2018/19 season to second tier side Valenciennes, where he scored 2 goals in 13 appearances.

The 23yr old french striker had returned to his parent club Guingamp following their relegation from the French ligue 1.

In other news, Chelsea’s Mitchy Batshuayi looks set to be joining Aston Villa on a loan deal which will last until the end of the season.

This comes after the Aston Villa forward Wesley had gotten into a nasty injury following the tackle by Ben Mee during their last Wednesday fixture against Burnley.

Wesley looks to miss the rest of the season, and Batshuayi who had been struggling for game time at Chelsea will fancy his chances to play regular football in any premier league side.
