Brighton loaned Abdallah Sima to Brest during the summer transfer window because they did not have enough room in their squad for the wide player. Sima has begun to demonstrate his abilities at Brest following a successful period at Rangers.
The Brighton loanee has three appearances in Ligue 1 and scored on his Champions League debut yesterday, helping his team defeat Sturm Graz.
L’Equipe praises the striker, adding that he was ‘dangerous’ in the second half while having the space to cut inside and combine with Ludovic Ajorque.
They describe how the 23-year-old has assimilated into the team, settling in considerably faster than some of the other summer acquisitions.
The Senegalese international appeared ecstatic about his performance and the experience of competing in the Champions League with Brest.
He told Ouest after the game: “It’s an incredible feeling,”
This is good news not only for Sima, but also for Brighton, who have already loaned him out four times.
His value will only rise as a result of a successful loan period, and the Seagulls will have the option of keeping him or selling him for a reasonable amount.
