German Bundesliga club Mainz 05 are expected to sign Ludovic Azork as their new striker. There is a higher possibility that the recruitment of Cho Kyu-seong will be canceled.

Local media such as ‘Requipe’ reported on the 24th (Korean time) that Mainz would soon recruit Azorc, who had played from Strasbourg in France. Although the transfer fee was not included in the media’s report, it is known that the transfer process has entered the final stage enough to join the Mainz squad on the 24th local time.

Mainz is one of the teams that strongly wanted Korean striker Cho Kyu-seong. Cho Kyu-seong, who belongs to Jeonbuk Hyundai, also viewed the signing of Mainz positively as he could go directly to the big leagues. However, Mainz was unable to offer good conditions compared to Celtic among European clubs, and was soon pushed out of the competition. As the January transfer market neared its end, Mainz, who had to make a realistic choice, quickly secured Azork. Mainz’s offensive power (20 goals in 16 games) is at the bottom of the league, and the team’s top scorer only has 5 goals, so there is a possibility of recruiting several strikers. However, given the financial situation, the odds are slim. 메이저놀이터

Azorc is a 197cm striker who has been playing on the French stage all the time, and has proven his ability step by step from the lower league and entered the first division in 2018 at the age of 24. He has established himself as a high-level striker by scoring 16 league goals in the 20202-2021 season and 12 league goals in the 2021-2022 season. There were also many reports that a transfer was likely last summer. However, in the first half of this season, he only scored 1 goal in 13 games. From the point of view of Mainz, it is a burden to buy a player who is in poor condition in the winter transfer market, which requires an immediate sense of power. However, given his limited funds, he has no choice but to gamble.
