Saint-Trond lands Soèllé as first summer recruit for Europa League
Belgian club Saint-Trond have confirmed the signing of 20‑year‑old striker Frédéric Soèllé Soèllé, completing his move after a season on loan at RFC Liège. The Canaries announced the transfer on Monday morning, noting the forward will become a permanent player once his loan ends on 30 June.
Soèllé leaves RWDM Brussels, where he featured in eight matches without scoring. He is still officially on loan at RFC Liège until 30 June, after which he will join Saint-Trond permanently. During his spell at RFC Liège he scored seven goals in 24 Division 1 B games.
The club posted on its social channels: “La première nouvelle recrue des Canaris a posé ses valises. Bienvenue, Frédéric Soèllé Soèllé.” The message was shared on Monday morning alongside a Dutch tweet reading “De eerste nieuwe Kanarie is ingecheckt 🧳 Welkom, Frédéric Soèllé Soèllé.”

Saint-Trond must pay a transfer indemnity to RWDM Brussels to finalise the deal, as the Brussels side faces significant licensing problems that require cash. Transfermarkt values Soèllé at €250 000. The Canaries will also need to replace several outgoing players, with Muja returning to Samsunspor, Yamamoto moving to Fribourg, and Goto (Anderlecht) and Ito leaving the squad. Taniguchi will decide his future after the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.Dutch fans turn US streets into orange carnival ahead of World Cup
