The 21-year-old Saudi Arabian winger Marwan El Sahafi is expected to officially join Royal Antwerp FC within the next 24 hours. Last season, he played for Beerschot, a rival of Antwerp. This transfer is considered a strategic move by Antwerp to address the potential offensive gap that could result from Michel-Ange Balikwisha's possible transfer to Celtic FC. The anticipation surrounding El Sahafi's move is intensified by the fact that he is transferring from Beerschot, a significant rival, adding intrigue to the deal. Transfermarkt estimates his market value at approximately €1.00m, and he had attracted interest from several other clubs, including Watford and Blackburn Rovers.
