Lassina Traoré of Ajax on her way to Shakhtar Donetsk | Football

sport">His agents Daan Kramp and Revien Kanhai of Forza Sports Group have been spotted in Kiev and have reached an outline agreement in recent days about the striker’s personal commitment. “It is true that we went there and had very good conversations with Shakhtar,” Kramp said when asked.

sport">Kramp cannot yet confirm reports from both clubs that there is an agreement between Ajax and Shakhtar about the transfer fee of approximately 10 million euros. “We are now busy getting all the paperwork in order. But the plans that the club and especially the trainer have with Lassina are very positive. Lassina must make steps towards the international top via Shakhtar.” Fernandinho and Willian preceded him in that regard.

Good game in Champions League

sport">With the upcoming transfer, the player from Burkina Faso is making his desired step. Partly due to an injury, he was not or hardly in Erik ten Hag’s plans in the second half of the season. But partly due to his good game in the Champions League at Atalanta, he aroused a lot of interest, including from various Italian clubs.

sport">Other clubs also knocked on his door, but Traoré chooses Shakhtar partly because of the good story of Roberto de Zerbi. The former trainer of Sassuolo sees him as the first striker. With Traoré there, Shakhtar hopes to replace competitor Dinamo Kiev as champions and, as the club is used to, enforce Champions League football.
