Racing Club de Strasbourg are monitoring 18-year-old American forward Gabriel Wesseh, who is of Liberian descent and currently plays for Fredrikstad FK.

Journalist Tom Bogert reports that Wesseh has attracted attention after scoring four goals and providing two assists in 639 minutes during the first half of his season in Norway. Several other clubs are also preparing significant bids for the teenager ahead of the winter transfer window.

The latest developments form part of Africafoot’s live updates on transfer rumours, confirmed moves, records and other news involving African players.

German interest in Soufian Gouram

Soufian Gouram is attracting interest from clubs in Germany, France and England as his contract with Hertha BSC approaches its conclusion.

The 20-year-old German-Moroccan midfielder is being followed by three Bundesliga clubs – TSG Hoffenheim, VfL Wolfsburg and FC Augsburg – according to Bild.

Gouram’s deal with the Berlin club expires at the end of the season. His contract situation has also drawn attention from several teams competing in the English and French leagues, with the possibility of a move increasing as January approaches.

Swansea consider ending Jeremy Monga loan

Jeremy Monga’s time at Swansea City could be cut short as early as January, with the club’s chief executive Tom Gorringe reportedly holding talks over an early termination of the winger’s loan from Manchester City.

According to the Swansea Independent, Swansea invested one million pounds in the agreement but are now seeking to reduce the cost to £500,000. The Welsh club also want to stop paying Monga’s weekly wages, which are estimated at either £13,000 or £20,000.

The 17-year-old, who is of Zambian descent, has yet to make a competitive appearance for Swansea. Although some members of the club have been encouraged by his ability in training and believe he should be given an opportunity, negotiations could result in Manchester City sending him on loan to another club.

Championship clubs monitor Jesurun Rak-Sakyi

Ghana international Jesurun Rak-Sakyi is being considered by two Championship clubs ahead of the winter market.

The winger’s contract with Crystal Palace expires at the end of the season, a situation that could reduce his market value when the January window opens. Football League World says Bolton Wanderers and Derby County are assessing whether he could strengthen their squads.

Bolton have been advised to move early because several of their forwards are currently out on loan and could leave the club. Derby, meanwhile, are actively seeking wingers to improve their options in wide areas.

Palmeiras and Fluminense target Francis Amuzu

Palmeiras and Fluminense are interested in signing Francis Amuzu, whose current contract with Gremio expires on 31 December.

The Ghanaian winger’s performances and contract position have placed him in a strong position as he considers his next move, according to journalist Fabio Vargas. His representatives are also examining the possibility of a return to Belgium with Anderlecht.

Amuzu is 27 and will be free to choose his next destination once his agreement with Gremio ends.
