Southampton are expected to complete the loan signing of Abakar Sylla (22) from RC Strasbourg Alsace as the transfer window closes. This information comes from reports.
Sylla, a defender for Ivory Coast, has had inconsistent performances for Strasbourg since his transfer from Club Brugge, although he has played regularly for the team. He has made 15 appearances this season across all competitions. However, Strasbourg’s recent acquisition of Andrew Omobamidele on loan might reduce Sylla’s playing time.
It’s understood that Strasbourg’s manager wants to allow Sylla to leave before the transfer deadline. Reports indicate that Southampton made a loan offer which does not include an option to buy the player permanently.
Despite interest from Lazio, sources suggest that Sylla’s move to Southampton from Strasbourg is very likely to happen.
