A few hours before hosting LOSC at the Meinau stadium, this Saturday (7 p.m.), Strasbourg is also active in the transfer window. The Alsatian club, which has just formalized the arrival of a new central defender, is also targeting a former name associated with LOSC. While not being exempt from departures.
Gonçalo Borges soon in France?
It's not just on the field that Liam Rosenior's squad goes in all directions. Renowned for his very intense game, full of movements without the ball and deliberately unbalanced, the English technician can count on management which is just as proactive in the transfer market. Thus Strasbourg was able to formalize the arrival on loan with option to purchaseAndrew Omobamidele from Nottingham Forest this Friday. The 22-year-old Irish defender will likely be able to take part in the match against LOSC this Saturday, even if he should sit on the bench.
Not satisfied and weighed down by Dilane Bakwa's injury, Racing is advancing its pawns on other issues as reported by the newspaper The Teamand in particular a name well known by LOSC: Gonçalo Borges. Linked on loan to the Mastiffs last winter, the Portuguese winger is in need of playing time. Close to bouncing back in Alsace this summer, he is still closely followed by the RCSA, which has refined its squad in recent days. Milos Lukovic (Heerenveen) and Saïdou Sow (Nantes) have been loaned until the end of the season, when Mamadou Sarr is expected to join Chelsea, the parent club of the BlueCo multi-ownership, next summer. Abakar Sylla is followed in England, while a way out is still being sought for Junior Mwanga and Yoni Gomis.
Other executives are being courted for a winter departure to the Premier League: Emanuel Emegha is coveted by West Ham, Dilane Bakwa by Tottenham and Habib Diarra, captain, has already been the subject of an offer of 23 million euros from Brighton. A proposal refused by Strasbourg, on the strength of the financial solidity provided by BlueCo. Carney Chukwuemekayoung Chelsea player (21 years old), could also come and strengthen the already very youthful ranks. The RCSA is the youngest team in Europe (22.5 years), but it nonetheless has plenty of arguments to spare.
