The Ivory Coast international has been a desired target of PSV for some time, De Jong indicates. “Sangaré is a player with many appealing characteristics, who made his debut in a top competition at a young age. Such guys can eventually become interesting for PSV and that is why we follow them closely. Now, also due to the relegation of Toulouse, the right moment arose. to strike. However, we weren’t the only ones who thought that way, so we’re very happy that it worked out. “
