In the transfer controversy between Celtic and Wolves, Stoke City could emerge victorious, according to one opinion.On Saturday, the Celtic loanee made his Stoke debut.
As a replacement for Chiquinho, Sead Haksabanovic may be one of Stoke City’s greatest summer additions.
International player from Montenegro Haksabanovic has a track record of success, having played for Celtic among other clubs.
Haksabanovic has the potential to have an instant impact with his dribbling abilities and capacity to create opportunities. Stoke City is in need of firepower.
One of the astounding 18 new faces to sign with Stoke City during the summer transfer window was Sead Haksabanovic.
The Potters had a diminished roster before preseason began since they had let several players to go when their contracts expired. Following the sales of Jacob Brown, Connor Taylor, and subsequently Josh Tymon at the end of the window, their need for new additions was further increased.
The persistent hiring drive of Alex Neil got under way in the first week of July when veteran left-back Enda Stevens signed a one-year deal. This was the first in a long line of new arrivals who came to the Potteries from different places.
On Deadline Day, three transactions were completed. Junior Tchamadeu, a long-term objective, was acquired from League Two team Colchester United, and he was joined by the adaptable Lynden Gooch, who transferred from Sunderland.
Given that Chiquinho had already taken up residence in that position, the signing of Haksabanovic seemed fascinating. The Wolverhampton Wanderers winger was brought in on a temporary basis, but his loan was terminated after just one month.
Haksabanovic may turn out to be one of the club’s better purchases of the summer as Neil and his staff quickly found themselves in need of a replacement.
What is Sead Haksabanovic’s name?
Haksabanovic made his debut in his native Sweden before being snatched up by West Ham United at the age of 18. After returning from a loan transfer to East London, he never made a league appearance there and immediately moved back to Scandinavia.
The winger tried his luck in Britain again after a stint with the Russian team Rubin Kazan. He switched this time to the Celtic, the Scottish behemoths. He has played in 44 games for the Hoops thus far, and in November of last year, after scoring three goals, he was named the Cinch Premiership Player of the Month.
Haksabanovic is a Montenegran international and has played for them since 2017, despite having played for Sweden’s junior teams.
Haksabanovic may be Stoke’s star player.
After a rather mediocre start to the season, Stoke are in dire need of offensive potency. Despite early-season victories over Rotherham United, West Bromwich Albion, and Watford, Ipswich Town, Preston North End, Millwall, and Norwich City have all defeated the team. With only six points, The Potters are mired in 19th place.
Naturally, it takes time for their new additions to click, but Haksabanovic may have a bigger instant influence. He made his debut appearance in red and white after replacing Wesley after 61 minutes, and he appeared to be a livewire, which Stoke has been lacking ever since Andre Vidigal injured his ankle before the international break.
The Montenegrin player generated two opportunities, finished 81% of his passes, and completed the equal most dribbles on the field at Carrow Road. The team’s second-half performance significantly improved as a result of this.
Haksabanovic may be important this year and be given the starting wing position. When City travels to Huddersfield
on Wednesday, one of the teams predicted to be relegated, he will have the next opportunity to impress the supporters of Stoke.
The Potters will emerge as the true winners from the Celtic and Wolves transfer debacle if that turns out to be the case.
