Steve Ngoura Transfer from Le Havre to Cercle Brugge
Cercle Brugge has quickly moved in the winter transfer market to acquire Steve Ngoura as a replacement for the departed Kevin Denkey, even before the transfer window officially opened.
Steve Ngoura, a 19-year-old French youth international, has signed a contract with Cercle Brugge that will last until 2028, with an option for an additional year. It has been reported that Cercle Brugge paid approximately 3 million euros to secure his transfer from Le Havre. Ngoura was drawn to Cercle Brugge by their project and expressed his intention to develop further as a forward. He has achieved eight goals in seven appearances for the French U20 team but has not found the net in eight substitute appearances in Ligue 1 this season. Nevertheless, due to a quadriceps injury, he will require a few weeks to recover before his anticipated debut in February.
Cercle Brugge reached an agreement with Le Havre for the transfer of 19-year-old Steve Ngoura. The transfer fee is around 3 million euros, including bonuses. Ngoura is expected to sign a four-year contract with Cercle Brugge. He will undergo medical examinations in the coming days before the deal is finalized.
Cercle Brugge is set to complete the transfer of Steve Ngoura, a 19-year-old talent from Le Havre. Cercle is expected to pay a fixed transfer fee of 3 million euros, with potential bonuses and a resale percentage agreed by Le Havre. The transfer is anticipated to be completed soon, offering a similar profile to Kevin Denkey, who previously joined Cercle.
Cercle Brugge has shown interest in acquiring Steve Ngoura from Le Havre. Ngoura has faced challenges in securing playing time at Le Havre, having participated in only 285 minutes over eight matches. Cercle Brugge perceives a chance to sign him, given that Ngoura's contract extends until 2026, though Le Havre might consider selling him by 2025 to obtain a substantial fee. According to Transfermarkt, Ngoura holds a valuation of 800,000 euros. As a French youth international, he has made an impression by scoring eight goals in seven matches. Cercle Brugge is seeking to strengthen their squad after the departure of Kévin Denkey to FC Cincinatti and regards Ngoura as a potential replacement for Denkey. The Belgian club, which frequently conducts scouting missions in France, has thus identified the 19-year-old striker from the French Ligue 1 club, Le Havre, as a target. Ngoura is reportedly keen on gaining more playing time, which he might achieve at Cercle Brugge.
