Standard sells Sahabo
The Rouches already made some acquisitions this month, but also had to sell to compensate for those expenses. That has now been achieved. After all, they have managed to cash in on Hakim Sahabo.
The 20-year-old midfielder was only a substitute for Standard, but nevertheless enjoyed the necessary interest. He will now eventually move to AEK Athens. After 2.5 years, the Rwandan’s passage to Sclessin is almost over.
Hakim Sahabo joins AEK Athens. The 20-year-old midfielder leaves the club after two and a half seasons with Rouches. Good luck, Hakim. 🔴⚪️

Diawara can leave Antwerp again
Antwerp may also see another player leave. According to foreign media, Mahamadou Diawara could still leave the Bosuil. However, the 20-year-old midfielder only arrived at the beginning of September. Antwerp then hired him from Lyon as a replacement for the departed Doumbia.
Diawara was also a basic player in his first weeks, but disappeared completely from the picture in recent months. Since the beginning of November, he has only been allowed to substitute once. Genoa and Brøndby are said to be on hand to put the Frenchman out of his misery if Antwerp agrees to tear up his loan contract.
