FC RFS has made a significant addition to their squad by signing 18-year-old Gambian attacking midfielder Modou Saidy to a four-year contract. Latvian champions bolster their midfield with one of the brightest young talents from Gambia.
Modou Saidy, known for his dynamic playmaking abilities and powerful shot, has made a notable impact in the Gambian Premier League. At just 18 years old, Saidy recorded an impressive 6 goals and 14 assists during the last season, showcasing his skill and vision on the field. His performances did not go unnoticed, drawing interest from prominent European clubs, including Red Star Belgrade, who were keen to secure his services.
Saidy’s signing is particularly significant for FC RFS as he becomes the third Gambian player in their ranks, following in the footsteps of Alfusainey Jatta and Haruna Rasid Njie. Interestingly, Saidy shares the same agency as Njie, which may have facilitated this move. The young midfielder’s potential is further underscored by his surprising omission from the Gambia U20 national team, a decision that left many fans and analysts puzzled given his impressive statistics and form.
Currently, Saidy is in Dubai completing the final details of his visa arrangements. Once these formalities are resolved, he will join FC RFS, where he is expected to add considerable depth and creativity to their midfield.
