Kipré, who is out of contract this summer, has been pursued by several clubs across England and Europe. However, Reims have emerged as the frontrunner, securing his signature despite interest from teams such as Trabzonspor.
The 27-year-old has had a nomadic career, playing for various clubs including Motherwell and Wigan before his four-year stint at West Brom. Kipré began his football journey in France with Paris Saint-Germain’s youth system, making his return to French football a fitting next step.
