Hugo Siquet’s career is moving fast. The 19-year-old youth product of Standard has decorated a transfer to Freiburg, the current number 4 in the Bundesliga. He will move on January 1. Merveille Bokadi then signed a new contract.
Hugo Siquet has been defending the Standard colors since 2009 and after his training he broke through last season.
The offensive right back is not looking for a rush more or less, has a good cross in the house and was already linked to Lille, among others last summer.
No deal was reached, but Standard could use a financial injection and let Siquet go to Germany.
“The Belgian youth international, who has been courted by several European teams since this summer, has this time decided to accept the offer from the German club where he will go this winter,” the people of Liège said.
“Standard would like to congratulate Hugo Siquet on this new step and wish him the best in his further professional career.”
“We’ve been following Siquet since his debut”
“Freiburg is a family-oriented, yet ambitious club that fits perfectly with my values on and off the pitch,” Siquet said on his new employer’s website. “I’m really looking forward to playing for this club soon.”
“We have been following Siquet since he made his debut for Standard. Last summer, a transfer was not yet possible. We are happy that it is now successful,” says sporting director Klemens Hartenbach.
“He is the right back we were looking for. Despite his young age, he has a lot of insight into the game. His energy and his urge to go forward also characterize him. With us he can take the next step in his development.”
With 22 points, Freiburg is in fourth place in the Bundesliga after thirteen match days. It only has to tolerate Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Leverkusen.
Bokadi signs new contract
The one who normally definitely stays with the Rouches is Merveille Bokadi. The versatile defender/midfielder signed a new contract.
