Amadou Coundoul Close to Joining Académica on Loan from Sporting Gijón
Portuguese club Académica is finalizing the loan signing of 24-year-old Senegalese forward Amadou Coundoul from Spanish side Sporting Gijón, with a purchase option included. The 1.94-meter tall player, capable of playing as a striker or attacking midfielder, is expected to travel to Portugal between Monday and Wednesday to integrate into training and be presented on Thursday during the club's official presentation to members and fans. Coundoul, a youth international for Senegal, played 18 games for Sporting Gijón's B team last season, scoring two goals and providing one assist. He previously played for UD Llanera and UD Montijo in Spain. Académica, coached by António Barbosa, is also seeking three more signings—a goalkeeper, a left-back, and a winger—but is not in a rush to complete those deals.
