Former Gambia U20 and Real De Banjul creative left-winger Pa Modou Sohna has signed for Morocco Botola League side Jeunesse Sportive Soualem on a three-year contract.
Pa Modou’s four years stint with the capital club Fus Rabat ended this month as he couldn’t be featured in the A team mainly due to his knee ligament injury, which kept him out of action for nine months in 2021.
Regarded as one of the best players in his generation, Pa Modou is rearing to go all out again. The playmaker had 14 goals and 12 assists last season. This campaign, he has netted 16 goals and provided nine assists with the U21.
“I’ll make all my fans proud next season
because I want to prove myself here in Morocco first before going out outside.” He indicated
Pa Modou becomes the third Gambian to secure a move in the summer, following Yusupha Njie and Yankuba Minteh. Tijan Jaiteh, who doubles as the agent of Yusupha Njie and Pa Modou, spoke to the Alkamba Times sports desk.
“Natural place for him. He knows the league and the place after spending four years. All have loved him, from the president to the coach and players. That is very important. With his talent and qualities, JSS will give him the platform to showcase his potential. We all agree that Pa Modou is a top talent, and the environment is there for him to return to the top. I know he is hungry and determined for a new page in Morocco.”
“It’s an amazing contract. I believe in the mantra of success for my players, which is a key agenda in how I work. I always want my players to be treated well and respected. The same energy I put in deals worth 200k, 300k is the same energy I put on deals worth 4 million, 5 million,” Jaiteh added.
