Scores hat trick in friendly
Lepaul scored a hat trick in Sunday's 3-3 friendly draw with Galatasaray, the club posted.
Analysis: Lepaul is in great shape heading into the new season and will be focused on claiming back to back Golden Boots in Ligue 1 after winning last season's award with 21 goals, a breakout campaign that included seven goals in the final seven matches. He recently signed a contract extension through 2030, and this hat trick is an early sign that he could pick up right where he left off as one of the division's most dangerous strikers heading into 2026/27.
Signs extension with Rennes
Lepaul signed a one-year contract extension with Stade Rennais, extending his stay at the club through 2030, the club announced.
Analysis: Lepaul delivered one of the most impressive individual seasons in Ligue 1 this campaign, claiming the top scorer award with 21 goals including a stunning hat-trick against Strasbourg in November and an exceptional second half of the season that saw him net 12 goals including seven in the final seven matches. The Auxerre-born forward joined Rennes in August 2025 and wasted no time making an impression, opening his account just three days after his arrival against his former club Angers. He started all but one of Rennes' league fixtures throughout the campaign, demonstrating the consistency and finishing ability across multiple situations that made him one of the most dangerous strikers in the division. His contract extension reflects the club's determination to build around one of the most exciting attacking talents to emerge in French football this season.
