Gata was sold to Sturm Graz: – I want to be next

Sidi Gata (20) is ready to play with Austrian club Sturm Graz, confirmed Valerenga.

Elite Series Club confirms sale in its collection channels Thursday.

This year’s season marked Gata’s definitive milestone in Norwegian football, and the 20-year-old was one of the Oslo club’s best players with six goals.

Sir, a wonderful story that shows the importance of hard work and a large part of patience. After a season last year where everything wasn’t quite right, he’s worked extra hard this winter and is now being rewarded with a professional contract at Sturm Graz. This after spring with good performance. This transition is a signal to other young players, as well as those around them, that it is important to be patient. Sporting Director Joachim Johnson says:

– We also have to give an extra feather in the cap to Haziz Aasen, who was the main driver of Seedy signing Vålerenga from Skeid in 2019.

Jata completed his medical in Austria on Wednesday. He signed an agreement spanning more than four years.

– My time at Vålerenga was very good. I had the chance to play in front of Norway’s best fans, I learned a lot and made progress as a player and as a person. Jata says, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who was there for me and helped me reach where I am today.

– Sturm Graz is a very nice club for me now. It fits me perfectly and I’m looking forward to showing off and playing in front of the fans. They’ve produced conveyor belt strikers for the best leagues in the world, and now I want to be next, he adds.

Sturm Graz is second in the Austrian Bundesliga. The team is in second place after three rounds in the league. The new GTA club will meet Austria Lustenau on Saturday.
