Midi Olympique reporting he’s about to sign for Agen and they
nearly signed Brett Heron as well

That's not good if true.

That would be a very odd move...

> OLYMPIC MIDI INFORMATION - According to our information, the
SUALG is about to enter one of the great hopes of English rugby,
Harlequin winger Gabriel Ibitoye. Initially, he was to be
followed by his compatriot, opener Brett Herron, who after
giving verbal approval to President Fonteneau is expected to
remain in England.
>
> SUALG manager Christophe Laussucq was on the verge of a double
success in terms of transfer. According to information from Midi
Olympique, he is on the point of obtaining the commitment of the
winger Gabriel Ibitoye (22 years old, int - 20 years old),
notably author of a very big performance this season in
Champions Cup against Clermont to Marcel Michelin. The club has
been fairly active on the transfer market this season, engaging
experienced players (Gérondeau and Buttin), but also young
players said to have high potential (Corentin Vernet, 23, or
Lyonnais Kévin Yaméogo, 22 , loaned to the right pillar post).
This week, Agen communicated on the arrival of the Fijian of
origin from La Rochelle, Tevita Railevu (23 years old),
considered as Jiff. Laussucq sought to reinforce wing positions
with players with a finisher profile.
>
> He was also looking for an opener to enter the rotation in
this position, especially with the French Raphaël Lagarde. He
was eyeing number ten or center Brett Herron (24, int - 18). The
latter, like Ibitoye, had to terminate his contract with their
current club, the London Harlequins, faced with financial
worries following the Covid 19 crisis. For the winger, President
Fonteneau quickly drew and obtained his agreement in writing .
He must get his exit certificate from the Harlequins. It’s just
a matter of hours, worst of day.
>
> For Herron who also stumbles and who was considered the third
choice among Londoners and wanted to see his playing time
increase, the problem is different. The player has already
committed to a new deal with the Harlequins, with a drop in
salary. Since then, he would like to come to Agen, but the
financial envelope available to SUALG does not allow him to pay
compensation to release him.
>
> Agen therefore went back to looking for an opener after
narrowly missing the South African Jantjies.

The bit that stood out to me in bold. Very worrying to see that
we're having contracts desperately terminated due to our
financials. Wonder who else will jump ship (if true, of course).

He's been pictured on our instagram back in training. Doesn't
mean he's staying I know

This is worrying as both have bright futures and would be sorely
missed, I’d rather keep Gabs and lose Ashton. It is also
alarming the amount of players retiring or leaving without
replacement.

He's also on the fringes of the England squad, so seems odd

It's also odd that Herron would have been their next choice
after Jantjes. That's quite a drop in standard.

One of the more strange rumours.
