Striker Lois Openda, midfielder Seko Fofana, defender Kevin Danso and goalkeeper Brice Samba represented Lens in the elite team that was headlined by PSG duo Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi.
Samed made 32 league appearances scoring once and assisting once while adding four appearances in the French Cup.
