“AA Gent Swallows: asking price €8 million”

An era at AA Gent came to an end on Tuesday, with the club confirming the long-awaited news that it will not continue with Hein Vanhisbrouck as coach beyond this season. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, a lot of work is being done to strengthen the team for next season.

Several names of potential acquisitions have been mentioned for the Buffaloes in recent days. They may forget the arrival of Gigs Small (FC Twente), but Ghent can still hope for Andre Gudjohnsen – son – as a new striker. They have also discovered the best new talent in Sweden.

English clubs are also following Yalkuye

Local media report that Ghent are one of the clubs hoping to snap up Malik Junior Jalkoyer from IFK Göteborg. The 18-year-old midfielder has only been there since February, but has already impressed enough in a few games to attract the attention of several top clubs.

Ghent will face competition from Ajax and Eindhoven for his arrival, but the Ivorian youngster’s stormy development has not gone unnoticed in England either. CaughtOffside understands that in addition to the three teams mentioned above, Liverpool, Brentford and several other English clubs are closely following Yalkoy.

AA Gent has to pay between 8 and 10 million

Therefore, AA Gent will have to rush to get ahead of all those big names, but above all, they will have to spend their money hard to land Yalkoy. After all, the asking price of 8 to 10 million euros has already been mentioned.

This means that Ghent will have to break the transfer record again. In January, they paid €7m for Momodou Lamine Sonko, but the 19-year-old striker has so far been unable to make a difference for the Buffaloes. So it would be dangerous for the club.
