SPAL have Crotone attacker Augustus Kargbo on radar

SPAL have Crotone attacker Augustus Kargbo on radar

by | 31 Jan, 2023 | Football Africa, Players Abroad News, Sport News

Serie B side SPAL are reportedly interested in signing Sierra Leone International attacker Augustus Kargbo before the January transfer deadline.

Kargbo, who made his Serie A debut in Crotone 4-1 loss to Genoa in September 2020, could sign for his sixth Italian club.

“We lack a player with those characteristics since Rabbi and Rauti are different. I like players with leg and cue, a bit like Lookman and Boga from Atalanta. These players, often of African origin, have an important physicality and a devastating shot, and they can split the game even in the last half hour”, Roma legend Daniele De Rossi the SPAL boss, has said about Kargbo.

However, the Serie C are reluctant to let the 23-year-old winger leave this window. Augustus Kargbo, who has played in 20 matches this campaign and scored two goals, could still leave with the right bid.

Società Polisportiva Ars et Labor, commonly known as S.P.A.L. (Italian pronunciation: [spal]), is a professional football club based in Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna, Italy.

The 19-year-old was precise as he guided his penalty past Mauritanian goalkeeper Namori Diaw in fine fashion in the 34th minute after defender Beibou pulled Moussa Ndiaye in the box as both sets of players waited for a corner kick.

Senegal held on to register a victory and book a slot in the last four of the TotalEnergies CHAN 2022 edition in Algeria. They will now face the winner between debutants Madagascar and Mozambique.
