Top scorer Guilavogui leaves FC St. Pauli for Lens
Bundesliga club FC St. Pauli has suffered a personnel setback. Striker Morgan Guilavogui is moving back to France, although the Hamburg club would have liked to keep him.
St. Pauli exercised the purchase option for the previously loaned striker. Since French first division club RC Lens exercised a buy-back option within the deadline, the 27-year-old Guinea international is returning to France, as the Hamburg club announced on Wednesday.

The attacking player joined Hamburg on loan last summer. Guilavogui made 27 competitive appearances, scoring seven goals (a team-high) and providing four assists.
