'Anderlecht makes bid for Häcken revelation Traoré'

TRANSFERS According to Luca Bendoni, an associate of transfer journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Anderlecht has made a bid to Häcken for striker Bénie Traore. The 20-year-old Ivorian, with 10 goals in 11 duels, is currently top marksman in Sweden's top league.


Anderlecht is said to have offered 2 million euros, plus bonuses of up to one million euros. Talks are said to be underway.

Traoré is an Ivorian who swapped ASEC Mimosas Abidjan for Häcken in February 2021. In his first season in Sweden, he scored three goals. This season (in Sweden soccer seasons follow the calendar year) his tally after 11 games stands at 10 goals and one assist. In the cup, he accounted for three goals and three assists in five games. 

Traoré still has a contract with Häcken until Dec. 31, 2026. According to Bendoni, Ajax would also show interest, but the only concrete offer so far comes from Anderlecht.
