Dembo Saidykhan set to join Vancouver Whitecaps
The Whitecaps are closing in on yet another deadline-day deal.
The Vancouver Whitecaps are set to sign 19-year-old center back Dembo Saidykhan from Steve Biko FC per Manuel Veth of Transfermarkt. Saidykhan, a Gambian youth international, turned heads with his performances at the U-20 World Cup. A stunning ascent for the defender who started the tournament on the bench and finished as a standout.
At 6’0’’ and lanky, Saidykhan excels at cutting out passes and sweeping up loose balls. His performances at the U-20 World Cup showed a defender willing to press high and engage in attacks using a quality right foot.
Busy Day for Vancouver
