Youssoupha Sanyang reflects on his transfer to Sweden
Transferred in June to Slavia Prague, Youssoupha Sanyang (19) became the most expensive sale in Östers IF's history with a fee of £3 million.
Yet, the Senegalese striker could have joined Hammarby instead of Östers IF. In an interview with Fotbolltransfers.com, Youssoupha Sanyang revealed:
Hammarby were tracking me, but Öster showed more interest. I didn't want to wait around for a club.
Arriving at the start of the season from Teungueth FC, he played ten Allsvenskan matches with Öster before heading off to Prague.

Manchester United Are Facing Tough Competition For This Paris Saint-Germain Keeper: Is He Worth The Fight?
In a recent report, Corriere dello Sport claimed that Manchester United are facing tough competition for Paris Saint-Germain keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma this summer. It has been stated that the Red Devils would have to rival Manchester City, Chelsea and Galatasaray in the race to land the Italian goalie in this transfer window. Donnarumma's Impressive Form In French Football The talented keeper enjoyed a decent run of form at the French club in the previous campaign as he helped them win the UEFA Champions League trophy earlier this summer. Donnarumma shipped in 43 goals and secured 17 clean sheets in 47 matches for PSG last season across multiple competitions. He even distributed possession relatively well after he completed 87.3% of his attempted passes in Ligue 1 (stats via His current contract at the French club will expire next summer which could give Man United a chance to sign him on a cut-price deal in this transfer window. EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY – JULY 09: Gianluigi Donnarumma #1 of Paris Saint-Germain celebrates his team's fourth goal scored by teammate Goncalo Ramos #9 during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 semi-final match between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid CF at MetLife Stadium on July 09, 2025 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by) Manchester United Are Facing Tough Competition For Donnarumma: Is He Worth The Fight? Donnarumma is a solid handler of the ball and can use his quick reflexes to make a few important saves at the back for his team. He usually puts his foot through the ball when being chased down by the opposition attackers. The Italian sensation can be a safe pair of hands in between the sticks and is also a tidy passer of the ball from the back. However, it remains to be seen whether he can make a smooth transition to life in the Premier League if the Mancunian club manage to bring him on board this summer. Donnarumma would no doubt enhance the quality of Man United head coach Ruben Amorim's backline. He would be an upgrade over Andre Onana, who has struggled to be consistent during his time at Old Trafford. At 26, Donnarumma has his best years ahead of him which makes him a worthy target for the Red Devils to pursue this off-season. He would be well worth the fight, so Amorim should focus on stepping up his efforts to acquire the services of the Italy international in this transfer period.

Besiktas are also expected to retain a 20 per cent cut of the future sale fee. This is quite the coup for Cagliari, because Kilicsoy is one of the brightest talents in Turkish football. He turns 20 in a couple of weeks and can play as a centre-forward or in a wider attacking role. The teenager scored an impressive five goals in six caps for Turkey at Under-21 level, and already has four senior appearances under his belt.
