Making Waves at Standard

Standard Liege made a splash this summer, signing wing attacker Rafiki Saïd from Troyes for €2.5 million. In just 17 matches, Saïd has scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists, quickly establishing himself as the Rouches’ most impressive summer signing.

With his blistering speed and dazzling dribbling skills, Saïd has been a constant threat to opposing defenses. Standard’s supporters have taken notice, and the player is loving every minute of it. “I’m just happy to be here,” Saïd told the media, brushing off rumors of interest from Sporting Charleroi and RSC Anderlecht.

International Recognition

Before joining Standard, Saïd represented Comoros at the Africa Cup of Nations. He played in all three group stage matches, gamely leading the charge despite being eliminated with just two points.

Future Prospects

Standard signed Saïd until mid-2028, hoping that the young attacker will bring in significant returns in the long term. With Anderlecht potentially losing Nilson Angulo this summer and already having showed interest in Saïd, could the capital club come knocking again next transfer window?

Last summer, Anderlecht did sign Ilay Camara from Standard for €4.5 million, raising the possibility of a repeat performance for Saïd.
