We had mentioned it , we can confirm it to you: ASNL took advantage of this final day of the summer transfer window in 2021 to finalize a tenth and last recruit: Sieben Dewaele, 22-year-old Belgian midfielder from Anderlecht. Dewaele attended all the national youth selections of the “Red Devils”, up to the Espoirs. He will be loaned by the “brother” club of Ostend who signed him before sending him directly to Lorraine, like Thomas Basila or Andrew Jung before him, not to mention Mamadou Thiam who already belonged to Ostend or Mickaël Biron sold to the Belgian club but remained in Nancy.

Competition will exist
Gauthier Ganaye announced seven or eight new players to compensate for the fifteen departures of the offseason (Seka, Fischer, Bassi, Rocha, Wooh, Sourzac, Nguiamba, Cissokho, Dona Ndoh, Barka, Bassouamina, N’Guessan, Merghem, Philippe, Scheidler) but the Nancy president therefore went further in this revolution. With ten reinforcements!
This allows the ASNL coach Daniel Stendel to present a workforce that is now quite complete, normally capable of playing an interesting role in this Ligue 2 championship after the international break. Much better, in any case, than the current 20th place with only one point on the clock after six days of the championship! With the recovery of the wounded and the return to form of the recruits who arrived late without any real preparation, the competition even promises to be quite intense in the Nancy ranks. It won’t hurt! Especially since the pressing game wanted by Nancy requires players at the top physically.

First Belgian player in club history
Renowned for his passing quality, for his vision of the game and for his tactical intelligence and for his… pressing in Belgium, Sieben Dewaele has an attractive profile on paper. More focused on technique than on athletic strength. He also has the advantage of having already had a little experience abroad, loaned last season to the Dutch club Heerenveen. The downside is his little playing time in recent months. Hopefully, for the ASNL, that it quickly finds the rhythm of the competition.
Sieben Dewaele, in any case, is already certain to mark the history of the Nancy club since he becomes the first Belgian footballer to wear the thistle jersey. It had to end up happening with so many links with Ostend , club also managed by Gauthier Ganaye.
