Saïdou Sow set to join Nantes on loan from Strasbourg

According to Foot Mercato, Saïdou Sow (22) is set to join FC Nantes on loan from Strasbourg until the end of the season. The agreement between the two Ligue 1 clubs for the Guinean international defender is a straight 5-month loan until the end of the season with no option to buy.

With an agreement in place, Sow has travelled to Nantes to undergo a medical before an official announcement by Les Canaris confirming the temporary signing of the 22-year-old. The Ligue 1 club have acted swiftly to secure the signing of the defender.

Despite the loan agreement, the Conakry-born centre-back has been a regular feature under former Hull City boss Liam Rosenior this season. Sow has made 13 appearances in all competitions for the Racing club and played in 61% of the available minutes this season. However, he will likely see his first-team minutes rise following the move to Nantes.
