Pierre Ekwah any news of him coming in?
07 Jan 2026 10:20:30
Former teammate of Dujon Sterling in the Chelsea youth sides,
Star might have some info on his qualities, as he was Sunderland player until recently.
"Name in home country:
Pierre-Emmanuel Ekwah Elimby
Date of birth/Age:
15/01/2002 (23)
Place of birth:
Massy France
Height:
1,89 m
Citizenship:
France
Ghana
Position:
Midfield - Defensive Midfield (can play CM / CDM / CB)
Foot:
left
Player agent:
BS Group.
Current club:
AS Saint-Étienne
Joined:
14/08/2025
Current Value 3 mill euros (highest 7 mill euros) "
I think this one could be a goer, apparently Rohl is interested in completing the Ekwah deal think we will need to pay over the current value of 3 mill as they only signed him from the EPL mid August 2025.
can play for us in midfield and as a LCB (he is Left footed) so if we get another injury say to Souttar (i hope not) Ekwah (LCB) can comfortably slip in with Fernandez (RCB) to make a solid defence.
Fernandez is now joint top scoring CB in domestic European leagues - equalling Danilho Doekhi's current tally of 4,
except Fernandez done it in 12 games not 16, and i fully expect Fernandez will finish up top scoring CB in European domestic leagues come seasons end, not bad for a guy we left out of 8 European games including qualifiers, and we played Djiga nistead,
i said start the season we had a quality CB in Fernandez, but we left him out of a lot of games, and guess what we either lost or drew the games he was left on the bench or not named in squad, glad Rohl recognised his qualities and is playing him every game now.
Ekwah's qualities
Technical and Attacking Strengths
Ball Control and Dribbling: Excellent close control and ability to beat players 1v1, even in tight spaces.
Passing Range: Capable of breaking lines with his passing and finding teammates effectively.
Shooting: Not afraid to shoot from range, adding a goal threat.
Possession Retention: Can maintain possession effectively under pressure.
Physical and Defensive Strengths
Physicality: Uses his stature and upper body strength to shield the ball and win aerial duels.
Defensive Contribution: Jockeys to intercept passes and break up play.
Overall Profile
Ekwah is seen as a technically gifted, physically imposing midfielder with the potential to be a dominant force, particularly when he's confident on the ball and impacting games with his passing and shooting.
would like to see this one get finalised, i think he fits Rohls system and will bring strenghths to our midfield we don't currently have.

Nothing at all in that thankfully.
He's a bad egg as well. Downed tools and hasn't played in something like 8 months as he feels he shouldn't be under contract.
07 Jan 2026 11:01:08
Personally agree with you what's the story.
07 Jan 2026 11:10:40
Whether or not he comes, laudruphagi, you're stats are impeccable. I know they're available out there but to put them all on here for us, so we don't have to is mighty impressive, cheers mate.
07 Jan 2026 11:29:34
Do agree one we shouldn't sign. I do think he's a good player having seen him for Sunderland a few times but how he's spat the dummy out over this whole contract situation is not a good look.

Bazbear.
Those stats are provided by AI.
07 Jan 2026 12:00:07
Yeh, what's the story. I didn't think he's been following his career all these years 🤣
Whether its AI nowadays, Google previously or even a visit to the library, he still collated then so I didn't have to.

If he played for Sunderland on opening games in the season and played for his current team then can't play for another team till next season.
07 Jan 2026 12:29:55
Davie he never played for Sunderland this season, LH I have said before he'd be a good signing for Rangers, none of us know his personal situation.
07 Jan 2026 12:42:54
Whats the story, close, but miles off it as well.
You could have added something worthwhile to the thread instead of assuming where i got the post info.
My post info came from multiple sources, 20 % transfermarkt, 20% Google AI, 60% my own input and opinions.
while AI has its's uses, i prefer not to be reliant on it for answers and info on everything, as it can be unreliable at times.
Nae bother BazBear, glad it helped give you some more info on the player and his qualities.

What is 1.89 in old English lol!
07 Jan 2026 13:03:03
Ekwah hasn't played for St Etienne this season yet, and has refused to play apparently he did not agree with the deal and is not interested in playing in League 2, he has been on sick leave and he has a court case soon where his lawyer will try to use the Lassana Diarra ruling to free Ekwah from he St Etienne contract allowing ot move either on a free or for a compensation fee to St Etienne from his new club if it all go's in is favour.
Whats the story
can help us all out and use AI to let us all know what the Lassana Diarra ruling was all about.

If we are seriously considering this lad then we may aswel give it up, this is 100% the type of player we should be avoiding! Joke we are mentioned in the same breathe and I hope and pray to jesus and the one and only holy god that we move on from this excuse of a player.
