Moussa Samba joins Ouakam from Sonacos on a free transfer

Senegalese striker Moussa Samba has joined Ouakam from Sonacos on a free transfer, completing a move from Ligue 2 to Senegal’s top flight.

The 18-year-old’s switch to Ouakam was concluded on 8 September, bringing his time with Sonacos to an end. Samba will now continue his career in Ligue 1 after moving between two clubs competing at different levels of Senegalese football.

Samba’s position as a striker gives him a defined attacking role at his new club. His arrival adds a young Senegalese forward to Ouakam’s squad as the club competes in the country’s highest league.

The transfer is domestic, with both Ouakam and Sonacos based in Senegal. For Samba, the move represents a step up from Ligue 2 to Ligue 1, while the free-transfer agreement allows Ouakam to secure his services without a reported transfer fee.

Samba’s age makes the move notable within the context of his progression. At 18, he joins Ouakam at an early stage of his senior career, having previously been associated with Sonacos in Senegal’s second tier.

The move also creates a clear change in the level of competition facing the striker. Sonacos compete in Ligue 2, while Ouakam operate in Ligue 1, meaning Samba has switched to a club playing in Senegal’s top division.

No contract length has been disclosed for Samba at Ouakam, and no further terms of the agreement have been provided. The confirmed details are that the striker has left Sonacos and joined Ouakam without a transfer fee.

Samba’s transfer was completed on 8 September, and the Senegalese forward is now an Ouakam player.
