Bonaventure Lendambi: Västerås SK eye move for Congolese Grassrunners FC forward

Congolese centre-forward Bonaventure Lendambi is being linked with a move from Nigerian side Grassrunners FC to Swedish club Västerås SK in the Allsvenskan, according to the latest transfer listings.

The 20-year-old, valued at €175k on Transfermarkt, is currently registered with Grassrunners FC, with no fixed contract expiry date publicly recorded – a detail that has prompted talk he could yet be attainable on a free-agent-style deal if negotiations over his status open up.

Born in Brazzaville on 14 November 2005, Lendambi stands at 1.87m and operates primarily as a central striker, favouring his right foot. He is listed as playing his club football – and representing – Grassrunners FC, who compete outside a recognised national league structure, adding to the sense that a step into a European top flight could be a significant career leap.

The rumour, flagged on 1 July 2026 with the likelihood of the move still marked as “?” in terms of probability, would see Lendambi swap Nigeria for Sweden and join Västerås SK in the Allsvenskan if a deal can be agreed.

Recent data credits Lendambi with a prominent role in Grassrunners FC’s latest outing, a friendly against Lagos-based opposition on 25 June 2026, which ended in a 1-1 draw, with the Congolese forward leading the line throughout and contributing to several of his side’s best openings, though he did not score.

With no prior European clubs on his record and a modest market valuation, Lendambi represents a low-cost, development-focused target. If a move to Västerås SK materialises, it could mark the start of his ascent in the European game and offer a first major platform to shape his reputation beyond African football.
