Montpellier Herault midfielder Theo Chennahi has signed a new contract keeping him at the club until 2030, while Stade de Reims forward Arone Gadou has agreed an extension through 2029.

Chennahi, 21, came through the Montpellier academy and has now secured his future with the club after a rapid rise into the first team. The Franco-Algerian midfielder signed his first professional contract at the end of May 2025 before agreeing an initial extension on 13 January.

He made four appearances for Montpellier’s senior side during the 2024/25 season. In the following campaign, Chennahi became an important part of Zoumana Camara’s team, playing 32 matches in Ligue 2.

His performances earned him the supporters’ award for Montpellier’s player of the season, further underlining his growing importance to the club.

Gadou has also been rewarded with a new deal after making an early impact for Stade de Reims. The Franco-Ivorian forward has extended his contract until 2029, with the option of an additional season, according to Le Parisien.

The 16 October victory over Dijon was a landmark occasion for Gadou, who scored his first professional goal in Stade de Reims’ 4-2 win at the Stade Auguste-Delaune.

The young striker has featured six times as a substitute in Ligue 2 this season and recorded a personal best for playing time in the latest round of matches.

Gadou’s progress has come as Stade de Reims have made a positive start to the campaign. The club currently sit third in the Ligue 2 table.
