The transfer window is accelerating strongly for ASSE. After registering the arrival of Stéphane Diarra, the Greens hope to quickly complete another file with Mahmoud Bentayg. The Stéphanois board could not stop at these two movements and will try a hell of a shot.
AXIS tries VDK
Always with the desire to strengthen its workforce, ASSE is trying to help itself in league 2 with one of the surprise teams of last season, SC Bastia. It is indeed the excellent Kevin Van Den Kerkhof who is targeted and who would bring real added value to the workforce. Used as a right piston last season, he delivered a high level season (38 games – 5 goals and 7 assists).
According to footmercato, Kévin Van Den Kerkhof is a target of ASSE to the point that the club would have made an offer to their Bastia counterparts. Probably the digital replacement (and not the position) of Niels Nkounkou. The 27-year-old player is, according to our information, interested in the ASSE project and would be in favor of coming to Forez.
The Laurent Batlles system would stick to his skin with a system with very offensive pistons. A perfect marriage between all parties?

Who are you Kevin Van Den Kerkhof?
Not retained by Lorient at the age of 20, the full-back went back to the amateur club of Feignies (the club has since changed its name, Entente Feignies-Aulnoye) in his native north, then Belgium (4th division at La Louvière and Olympique de Charleroi in the 3rd division) and Luxembourg (Dudelange) to finally discover the professional world in France. It is Bastia who comes to get him and where he explodes at this level, at 27 years old. His progress and his carefree attitude opened the doors of the Algerian team to him, where he has just been called up by Djamel Belmadi.
27 years old Algerian international (2 selections) 1.90m Lateral-piston right SC Bastia Contract until June 2026 Market value: 2 million
An excellent set-piece shooter, VDK would bring speed and percussion to his right lane. Real revelation of last season of league 2!
