Success with Lens
In the 1996–97 season, Déhu scored five goals, which was his best scoring year. The next year, in 1997–98, he was a very important part of the defense. His strong play helped Lens win their first-ever Ligue 1 title. This was a huge achievement for the club. He played almost 300 games for Lens before moving on.
