Until now very calm, the Standard transfer window has accelerated in recent hours. As expected, Isaac Hayden’s loan was terminated by mutual agreement between Rouches and Newcastle. The Englishman, little concerned by the Rouche project, will not leave a lasting memory.

But it is also and above all in the other direction that the Liège management has been active. Upon arriving, Ivan Leko took inventory of his core and decided, as was the case once morest Dortmund, to play 3-5-2.

But to do this, the Croatian needed a left-back capable of covering the entire flank. A piston who might relieve Moussa Djenepo of his defensive task. The T1 wanting to use the Malian closer to the goal.

Standard’s young midfielder, Isaac Price, assures us: “We sometimes took things too easily, but that won’t happen once more”

As we revealed to you this Thursday followingnoon, the Liège leaders had targeted the 20-year-old Algerian international, Jaouen Hadjam.

Arriving in Nantes in January 2023 from Tours, the player never managed to establish himself with the Canaries and was looking for a way out on loan. Thursday evening, the two clubs were close to an agreement for a loan with an option to purchase around €1.5 million.

In Nantes, we are presented with Jaouen Hadjam as a more offensive profile with defensive shortcomings. “He is comfortable with the ball and fast. But defensively, his positioning leaves something to be desired. He will be more comfortable in a three-at-the-back system,” we were told in Nantes. The Algerian is also presented as a player with an impeccable mentality.

After this probable signing, the Rouche decision-makers will still be looking for a central midfielder as well as an attacker.
