On Saturday, July 15, 2023, Jonathan Ifunga Ifasso, who plays as midfielder and assists the attackers, flew from Kinshasa to Kigali via N’djili Airport, where he will arrive on Sunday to complete his contract with Rayon Sports.
Rayon Sports have agreed personal terms with Congolese midfielder Jonathan Ifunga Ifasso as the club continues to boost its squad ahead of the new season.
The 24-year-old Ifasso, who has been in talks with Murera for over a month, is anticipated to replace Cameroon-born Willy Essomba Onana, and will face a medical exam before signing a two-year contract.
Ifunga Ifasso also plays as a midfielder for Moroccan topflight side Difaâ Hassani El Jadidi. He earned his first international call up on October 9, 2020 when DR Congo beat Burkina Faso 3-0.
He began his senior career with Dauphin Noir and Nyuki in native country before he was transferred to Difaâ Hassani El Jadidi in 2019.
Ifunga Ifasso is expected to bring creativity and stability in Blues’ midfield and defensive departments when the Rwanda Premier League returns in August while the club hopes their experience at continental competitions will be instrumental during the team’s journey back to the CAF Confederation Cup.
Rayon are increasingly looking more serious on the transfer market than expected. The club management is doing all they can to get their transfer right with right signings who can bring the team back to the African stage as well as rival for titles with the likes of APR domestically.
Born: March 10, 1999 (age 24 years), Kinshasa.
