ŁKS Łódź acquired Bastien Toma in mid-September on a free transfer, signing a contract with the 26-year-old until the end of the season with an option for a 12-month extension. According to journalist Łukasz Olkowicz, speaking on the 'Ofensywni' podcast, Jagiellonia Białystok was also in the running for the Swiss midfielder. Olkowicz explained that ŁKS won the competition for the player's signature because Jagiellonia was not prepared to offer him the same level of salary, which the journalist described as 'really solid'.
