Former CSKA youth player Viden Natsev will play in the French elite next season, as there is serious interest in the young outside hitter from clubs in Ligue A.
Natsev has received offers from six teams from the French first division, including Narbonne, Montpellier, Nice, Chaumont, Tourcoing, and Toulouse. This means the Bulgarian will certainly face
some of the biggest stars in French and world volleyball, such as Olympic champion Earvin Ngapeth, Nicolas Le Goff, and Bulgarian international Veni Antov.
The young volleyball player concluded his stay at the French national volleyball center CNVB in championship fashion. In the final of the Élite Avenir development championship, the team defeated Abeille Girondine 3:0 (25:20, 25:19, 25:21) and won the title.

Prior to that, Natsev had a strong end to the season in the French B League, where he earned the MVP award in his team's last match.

Over the last three years, Natsev was part of CNVB — the academy of the French federation, which develops some of the country's biggest talents and future French internationals.
