Africafoot’s 8 November 2026 transfer news update focuses on possible moves for Maximillian Oyedele and Franky Tchaouna, with both players attracting interest ahead of the winter transfer market.
Oyedele linked with Strasbourg exit
Maximillian Oyedele has yet to make an appearance for RC Strasbourg this season and has not been included in any of the club’s matchday squads.
The midfielder, who is of Nigerian origin, joined Strasbourg in July 2025 and is contracted to the French club until 30 June 2030. His early progress was affected by health problems, but recent call-ups to Poland’s youth national teams indicate that he is no longer dealing with injury.
That has increased the possibility of a move during the winter window, according to Polska Pioneers.
Legia Warsaw are examining the prospect of bringing back the 22-year-old, who has already played 24 matches for the Polish club. Legia are considering him as a potential addition to their midfield.
The club’s sporting director, Fredi Bobic, has said Legia will assess their recruitment options during the winter market. However, there is currently no specific commitment regarding a move for Oyedele.
Udinese tracking Tchaouna
Udinese are also exploring the market as they look to strengthen their squad and address their current difficulties.
The Serie A club’s scouting operation has widened its search to Serie B, where Franky Tchaouna has played since moving to Italy two years ago. The Chad international is owned by Salernitana but is currently playing for Catanzaro.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Tchaouna has attracted the attention of Udinese’s management. The club will decide whether to pursue the opportunity after the first half of the season.
