L’Angleterre fait tout pour ne pas se faire piquer Junior Kpoku par les Bleus

A même pas 20 ans, Junior Kpoku est un jeune homme déjà très sollicité. Le deuxième ligne formé aux Saracens a fait ses débuts en Top 14 sous le maillot du Racing 92 cette saison et est courtisé aussi bien par l’Angleterre que par la France.

Pour le moment, le XV de la Rose semble avoir une longueur d’avance. Non seulement le dernier de la fratrie Kpoku (ses frères, les jumeaux Joel et Jonathan, jouent respectivement à Pau et Bourgoin) représente l’Angleterre au niveau U20, mais en plus le staff anglais l’a invité la semaine dernière à s’entraîner avec les ‘grands’, qui préparaient le Crunch samedi (victoire de l’Angleterre 26-25).

Une opération séduction menée par Steve Borthwick car le géant (2,04 m, 119 kg) ne risquait pas de fouler la pelouse de Twickenham. Il a écopé trois matchs de suspension pour son carton rouge reçu contre l’Irlande lors de la première journée du Tournoi U20 et est de plus frappé par la règle inéligibilité qui touchent les joueurs anglais évoluant à l’étranger.

Un coup décisif dans la guéguerre que se livrent Angleterre et France pour le joueur ? En effet, Fabien Galthié s’est déjà montré intéressé par le profil du joueur, sous contrat avec le Racing jusqu’en 2027 et qui pourrait statutairement représenter la France à partir de l’automne 2026 puisqu’il est au Racing depuis octobre 2023.

Né à Londres de parents congolais, francophone, Kpoku avait laissé la porte entrouverte aux Bleus dans une interview accordée au Telegraph en mars 2024.

Junior Kpoku : « Peut-être que ce sera l’Angleterre, peut-être la France »

« Pour le moment, je prends les choses l’une après l’autre. Je veux d’abord bien terminer avec les U20, j’ai encore une saison à faire avec eux. Peut-être que ce sera l’Angleterre, peut-être la France. Je ne sais pas encore. Je n’ai pas encore parlé à Steve (Borthwick, NDLR), mais je suis encore jeune. On verra bien ».

Depuis, la presse anglaise s’est fait l’écho de plusieurs visites à Paris du sélectionneur et du directeur de la performance auprès de la fédération anglaise Conor O’Shea pour rencontrer le joueur. L’une de ces visites a abouti à l’invitation de la semaine dernière. Kpoku était sur les terrains de PennyHill Park, le Marcoussis anglais, mardi dernier pour participer à une opposition. Sa première expérience auprès du XV de la Rose senior.

De quoi sceller son futur ? Peut-être bien, d’autant que Junior Kpoku a confié dans une autre interview plus récente au Daily Mail que « la Marseillaise, je ne crois pas que ce soit pour moi. Jouer pour l’Angleterre, c’est dans mes veines. Je suis né là-bas, mes parents, ma famille, mes amis sont là-bas. C’est mieux pour moi de représenter mon pays. »

Crusaders rookie earns 'other than Dupont' praise from All Blacks star

It was a cold evening when I realized I had lost everything. My heart pounded in my chest as I stared at my empty crypto wallet. Three hundred thousand dollars’ worth of Bitcoin—gone. I had fallen victim to an elaborate scam, a promise of high returns that had turned into my worst nightmare.I had always been cautious with my investments, but these scammers were professionals. They posed as a legitimate crypto investment firm, complete with a polished website, convincing testimonials, and even fake regulatory approvals. Their scheme was perfect—until it wasn’t. After weeks of trying to recover my funds on my own, filing complaints, and chasing shadows, I almost gave up. That’s when I stumbled upon Galaxy Ethical Tech, a company renowned for its expertise in ethical tech solutions and cryptocurrency fraud recovery. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out to Galaxy Ethical Tech through their official website. Within hours, I received a response from their lead investigator, Daniel Carter. His calm yet confident tone gave me a renewed sense of hope. We’ve handled cases like yours before,” he assured me. “If the scammers haven’t moved your Bitcoin through an extensive network of tumblers, there’s a good chance we can track it. I handed over all the details—wallet addresses, transaction IDs, emails, and even chat logs with the scammers. Within 48 hours, their team of blockchain analysts got to work.Galaxy Ethical Tech used advanced blockchain forensics to trace the movement of my stolen Bitcoin. Every transaction left a digital footprint, and with their AI-driven tracking tools, they followed the money trail. It turned out that the scammers had transferred my Bitcoin through a series of crypto mixers, attempting to break the chain of traceability. However, Galaxy Ethical Tech had access to specialized de-anonymization algorithms and partnerships with global cybersecurity agencies. One breakthrough came when they identified a suspicious transaction leading to a centralized exchange. Using legal channels and law enforcement partnerships, they froze the scammer’s wallet before they could cash out.After two intense weeks, I received an email from Galaxy Ethical Tech: We’ve recovered your lost Bitcoin. Expect the full amount in your wallet within 24 hours. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I checked my wallet obsessively until, finally, my 300,000 BTC was back.You don’t know what this means to me,” I said, my voice shaking.He chuckled. “Just another day at Galaxy Ethical Tech. Stay safe, and always verify before you trust. Losing my Bitcoin was a nightmare, but it taught me valuable lessons: Never trust unsolicited investment opportunities. Always verify the legitimacy of crypto platforms. Use secure wallets and enable two-factor authentication. If scammed, act fast and contact professionals like Galaxy Ethical Tech.Thanks to their ethical approach and cutting-edge technology, I got a second chance. If you ever find yourself in a crypto scam, don’t lose hope—there are still heroes in the digital world.
