Super League contrast: Tsimba exits YB while Thun adds Swedish winger

In the Swiss Super League, the future of a young striker is being written in opposite directions: Emmanuel Tsimba has been declared to have no future in Bern, while FC Thun secures a Swedish (Schwede) left‑winger to reinforce its attack.

Tsimba's exit from Young Boys

The club confirmed on Montag that the 20‑year‑old Stürmer Emmanuel Tsimba is leaving the Berner side Young Boys (YB) for KVC Westerlo in Belgien. Luka Kolanovic reported the definitive Der move. The statement echoed a Legende that Hat no Zukunft in Bern.

Tsimba arrived in Bern during the Sommer 2024, stepping up from the Nachwuchsabteilung of Servette to the Young Boys U21-Team. He spent the 2024‑25 season developing within the U21 squad before being promoted.

In the Sommer 2025 he was incorporated into the first‑team Kader, joining the senior Mannschaft of Young Boys. The promotion marked his entry into the main team.

For the YB-Fanionteam he featured in twelve Pflichtspiele and recorded one Tor. These appearances formed his contribution to the fan side.

During the Rückrunde of the 2025/26 Saison he was loaned to GC, where he played 17 Spiele and found the net for 2 Tore. The loan spell added valuable experience in the Belgian league.

Westerlo finished the previous campaign in sixteenth place in Belgien’s top division. The club’s standing underscores the challenge Tsimba will face in the Belgian Pro League.

Thun's Swedish addition

FC Thun has bolstered its left flank by signing 24‑year‑old Tom Strannegard on a contract that runs until 2029, with an option for an additional season. The Swedish (Schwede) forward arrives from IK Start in Norway.

Strannegard grew up in Stockholm before moving to Norway in 2023. His development in the Swedish capital shaped his playing style.

At IK Start he was an absolute regular, starting all 17 Spiele of the Saison in the starting eleven. His consistency earned him the reputation of a reliable starter.

The contrasting moves illustrate how YB parts with a home‑grown striker while Thun invests in a proven Swedish winger, highlighting divergent strategies within the Super League as clubs reshape their squads for the coming years.
