Ousman Jallow on trial with SønderjyskE

Gambia international striker Ousman Jallow

Gambia international striker Ousman Jallow is currently undergoing a two-week trial with Danish Superligaen club SønderjyskE, this blog can report.

Jallow has been without a club since leaving promoted Turkish Süper Lig club Çaykur Rizespor ten months ago.

The Turkish club decided to terminate the striker’s remaining six months contract after he failed to recuperate from an anterior cruciate knee ligament injury and a Hepatitis B infection, which he later recovered from.

But SønderjyskE have now given the former Çaykur Rizespor, Brøndby IF, Raja Casablanca, Al Ain and Wallidan FC striker a career lifeline by handing him a 14 days trial even though the club’s Sporting Director Ole Nielsen claims the Gambian is not a priority for the Haderslev-based side.

“I would not say that Ousman Jallow is the first priority. We had the opportunity to see him, but we are also looking at other options. Jallow has been in Turkey. He was young in Brondby, and he has scored some goals in Turkey. We had the opportunity to see him the way, and we would like to see him,” SønderjyskE Sporting Director Ole Nielsen said.

“Through our network we have been able to get a closer look at him. He started on Monday, and we will have him for 14 days.”

“We know him from his time in Brøndby. But three years have passed between so we must wait and see where he is. And he is not the only striker we have on the block. There are other names in the game,” Nielsen added.

The Gambia international is valued at €800,000 by Transfermarkt, a German-based website that has footballing information, such as scores, results, transfer news, and fixtures.

Ousman Jallow scored 19 goals in 47 appearances during his stay at Çaykur Rizespor and he is bent on seeking a new adventure elsewhere with a second coming to Danish football after quitting Brøndby IF in 2011 for Rizespor.
