For a while, Anderlecht and AA Gent hoped to bring a great Belgian talent back to their own country. They tugged at Stanis Idumbo’s sleeve for a while after it became clear that the 18-year-old youth international would not be extending his expiring contract with Ajax.
However, the competition from abroad soon proved to be too tough for the Belgian clubs. Tottenham also signed up for the young midfielder, but ultimately failed to score as well. Ultimately, Idumbo decides to continue his career in Spain.
Idumbo signs for Sevilla
On Saturday evening came the long-awaited official confirmation that Sevilla had won the battle to sign Idumbo. He is moving to last year’s Europa League winners with immediate effect and has a contract there until 2028.
Initially, Idumbo will be registered with Sevilla Atletico, the B team that plays at the fourth level in Spain. That doesn’t necessarily seem like progress for Idumbo, who left Ajax because he had no prospect of a place in the first team.
From Jong Ajax to Sevilla B
As a result, he has been playing his matches in the Kitchen Champion Division with Jong Ajax in recent months. There Idumbo scored three goals in eleven games. He also previously played in the youth academies of Club Brugge and AA Gent, where Ajax signed him as a 16-year-old in 2021.
