In a move signaling intent, NAC Breda has announced the successful acquisition of highly-rated young French attacker Moussa Soumano from French Ligue 2 side AC Ajaccio. The club has confirmed a four-year contract for the promising forward, securing his services until 2028. This signing sees NAC Breda significantly bolster their attacking options with a player known for his dynamic attributes.
Soumano, who is approaching his 20th birthday, has drawn attention in recent seasons due to his explosive profile. His key technical characteristics include notable speed and a strong capability in one-on-one situations, making him effective at bypassing defenders. He also possesses a respectable scoring instinct, contributing goals during his time at Ajaccio. These qualities made him a sought-after talent on the European transfer market.
The player`s developmental path began in Saint Denis, located in the northern suburbs of Paris. He spent his formative years in the youth setup of Red Star FC until the age of 16. Subsequently, he transitioned to AC Ajaccio, where he progressed through their academy ranks before making his debut and gaining experience with the first team in Ligue 2.
Despite reportedly attracting interest from clubs such as Austria`s Sturm Graz and Scotland`s Aberdeen, NAC Breda acted decisively to finalize the transfer. Soumano ultimately chose a future in the Netherlands, viewing the move to NAC Breda as a strategic step in his career trajectory.
NAC Breda`s Technical Director, Peter Maas, commented on the signing, emphasizing the player`s potential and fit within the team`s structure:
“Moussa has an explosive profile and a clear desire for continuous improvement. The Dutch football environment offers an ideal stage for his development, and NAC represents a significant and exciting challenge. He immediately adds valuable depth and increases our attacking threat. His versatility across various forward positions is also a key asset.”
Soumano himself expressed enthusiasm regarding his decision:
“Dutch football genuinely fascinates me, and the reputation of NAC Breda, particularly concerning its passionate fanbase and history, is well-known. I am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to give my absolute best for this club and its supporters.”
The four-year commitment underscores the mutual confidence between the club and the player. This signing represents a notable investment by NAC Breda and opens a promising new chapter for the young forward as he prepares to make his mark in the competitive Dutch league system.
