FK Haugesund gets a nice win at Brann
In the Eliteserien FK Haugesund had a deserved win at SK Brann in Matchay 16. Modibo Sidibé who made his debut and who scored 2 goals, showed a lot of good things, hopefully we can see more of this in the next game.
Haugesund went into half-time with a 0-2 lead. It was a game where the referee had his hands full with all the faults. He decides to pull cards very quickly. In the 72th minute Wadji got his second yellow card of the evening and 5 minutes before the final whistle Daouda Bamba of Brann scored the 1 - 2 cause of a fail of the GK and made the slot very exiting to watch. Haugesund kept focused at the end and secured the 1-2.

Pokou N'Guesssan signs for FK Haugesund
The 20-year old Ivorian Right/Left winger comes over from ASEC Mimosas for a fee of 170k + 25%. He signs till 2024. Clubs like Al-Hilal, Kortrijk and FC Paris showed a interest too but Haugesund played it faster.
The young talent who came on Robin his radar thanks to Van Holsbeeck. Pokou can play on both wings what is interesting knowing Kallevag (our LW starter/no contract extension) leaves at the end of the season and having no alternative for this position he hopefully can adapt and impress directly. The Ivorian joins at 1 august when the Norweigan transfer market opens.

Michael Folorunsho & Emile Tendeng sign for FK Haugesund
22yr-old Nigerian and 28yr-old Senegalese midfielders signed for FK Haugesund this morning. Michael Folorunsho who comes over from Napoli and plays as a Central Midfielder, Emile Tendeng is a Left Winger who comes over from FC Ilves in Finland.
Michael was loaned out previous season to 3th division Italian-club AS Bari, he didn't start one game and only was subbed on 12 games with an 6.54 average and scored one goal. He was very emotional when he arrived Norway, we don't know if it's cause of the weather or because he'll miss the Italian pizza's, Haugesund is well-known for the fresh fish so it won't be a big problem for him finding good food.
Someone with a different profile is Emile Tedeng, who is a Left Winger, well known for his flair and dribbles, had a 2 great seasons at FC Ilves, even his team finished 9th and this season currently on the 8th place, Tendeng was chosed as Player of The Year in Finland in 2019 and this season he got an 7.43 average rating. He comes over for 170k, a relatively low fee cause his contract end at the end of 2020 and he wasn't interested to extend it.
Both players join at 1/8/2020 and sign for 4 years.

Transfer OUT
Sadly enough Fredrik Knudsen left the team, he despretaly want to leave and we agreed a bid of 625k of St. Pauli. We wish him the best in his further career. De Tremmerie will try Benjamin Karamoko on the CB before looking for an alternative.
ScottT: Yeah it helped a lot that we don't play against the top in the first games. Although a nice win against SK Brann.
Zed: Indeed! I'm happy that I finally found a steady club
