Sunderland pushes for Jules Ahoka
Jules Ahoka, 28, is on the verge of leaving Royal Antwerp FC for Sunderland, despite his contract until 2029. The English club is pushing hard for the Congolese midfielder, who is excluded from Antwerp's squad for the league match against KRC Genk. According to Axel Brisart of Het Laatste Nieuws, the transfer fee exceeds €10 million, with Antwerp set to receive a percentage that would yield a significant profit. Ahoka, who has quickly made an impression this season, has only been at Antwerp for half a year, but his market value of €300,000 makes him an attractive target.
Ahoka absent against KRC Genk
Ahoka's absence from trainer Marvin Compper's squad highlights the intensity of the transfer dossier. The midfielder, who has gained rapid attention in recent months, is now on the verge of leaving the Bosuil. For Antwerp, this is a financial and sporting loss, especially with the takeover by the consortium of Wouter Vandenhaute. A sale would help the club remain financially stable, but the loss on the pitch cannot be denied. Ahoka's absence against Genk puts the dossier under further scrutiny, while Sunderland is determined to close the gap.
