Looks like Feyenoord will win the race to sign Ouaissa , was tracking him earlier in the season expect the fee to be around £10M inc add ons .

Scout Report : Sami Ouaissa

•Club NEC Nijmegen
•Midfielder
•Age 21
•Height 1.86m
•Games 22
•Goals 6
•Assists 3

His direct style, technical quality, and output has drawn attention from clubs this window and He would excel in high-pressing, transition-focused teams.

[James Dillon @Onside_Scouting]

@BenBocsak He’s gone from strength to strength .
Looks like FC Porto will pay big to get him !

@alexjsullivan @bridportlion Similar attributes to Bannan , but at only 22 will improve.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s being lined up as his replacement rather than Mitchell’s

I see Sacko as a long term replacement for De Norre

He’s been played in a deeper role and covers a lot of ground , with the occasional more attacking freedom he can play CDM , CM or even as an ACM . And at only 22 will develop.

His defensive stats are decent
Per Game

•Ball recovery 4.1
•Arial Duels Won 65%
•Successful Dribbles 65%
•Clearances per game 1.8

Alex Neil likes to develop young players
Sacko is a prime example

@bi9dre No probs mate not your fault 😂 keep up the great vids mate always a good watch

@Scouting35 Great work @Scouting35 👏🏻👏🏻

@The1885Show A fantastic prize 👏🏻👏🏻

[James Dillon @Onside_Scouting]

@HhejaBen It’s clear the club have identified the need to find creative midfielders that can break the lines .
Rocco is still young only 22 so will improve .
Should we sign him I’d be excited to see him along side Del Boy

[James Dillon @Onside_Scouting]

@bridportlion His attributes favour a more attacking role than Billy’s.
