Major Reinforcement Ahead of Champions League: Slovan's Opponent Lands League's Top Scorer
The 28-year-old forward was the top scorer in the Dutch league last season with 25 goals. He also netted two goals for Japan at the summer World Cup. One of Slovan Bratislava's opponents in the main phase of the Champions League paid 15 million euros for his services.
Lille recently sold 18-year-old Ayyoub Bouaddi to Manchester City for nearly 100 million euros and, according to local media, is also considering the sale of Matias Fernandez-Pardo. Newcastle is reportedly interested in the 21-year-old Belgian forward, willing to pay 65 million euros for him.
The club from northern France will face Arsenal, Bayern Munich, AS Roma, and Galatasaray Istanbul, in addition to Slovan, in the Champions League. This was reported by AFP.
