The club have brought in an ideal foil for him in Martin Terrier , who has greater pace and scoring instincts when compared with Niang’s regular strike partner Adrien Hunou , and offers a far more physical (and defensively hard-working) complement to the former Milan striker. But the finishing will still be down to Niang - his goal return of ten, from 24 starts , was decent enough, but Rennes will have surely hoped for more from a player who cost €14m. If he can play with a modicum of consistency, perhaps edging his goals total closer to twenty, Rennes can assure themselves of another top three finish, but if he stumbles, things could sour quickly.
