Having just been bought out by the BlueCo consortium, which also owns Chelsea, Strasbourg is now gearing up for the season. While waiting for Patrice Vieira's arrival on the Alsatian bench to be made official, the club's directors are on the lookout for a striker. And Sekou Koita has been chosen.
French media outlet L'Equipe reports that Strasbourg will be stepping up a gear to recruit the Mali international striker, who scored five goals and provided five assists in his last 16 games for the Austrian champions after the World Cup. To secure the services of the 23-year-old, Strasbourg will have to spend €10 million to buy out the last year of the Malian's contract, which runs until 2024.
