The 23-year-old Moïsé Sahi Dion, an Ivorian attacker of the Racing Club de Strasbourg, is about to join the Belgian club in Dendermonde, playing in the Juplier Pro League. This news is part of a context of player movements within the Alsatian club, following the start on loan of defender Yoni Gomis towards Beveren. The news, relayed by Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, indicates that Sahi Dion is committed to a one-year contract, with an option for an additional year. This transfer represents an opportunity for the attacker to regain regularity after a season marked by recurrent injuries.
The transfer between the Racing Club in Strasbourg and Dendermonde includes a 30% agreement on the percentage of resale, according to information reported by the daily L’Équipe. The arrival of Moïsé Sahi Dion in Strasbourg in January 2021 was under the weight of great expectations, which was seen as a very promising winger. However, his journey in Alsace was considerably hampered by a series of injuries, eight in total, affecting his ability to maintain a constant level of performance. These injuries include ischio problems, thigh pain, knee injury and rupture of the Achilles tendon.
In spite of these physical difficulties, Moïsé Sahi Dion managed to stand out during his loan to Annecy during the 2022/2023 season, where he scored 15 goals in 36 Ligue 2 games. In total, he played 35 official matches with the Racing Club in Strasbourg, all competitions, and scored 6 goals. His transfer to Belgium offers the possibility to use his qualities, provided that his physical condition supports him. This new stage could mark a turning point in his career and allow him to flourish fully.
