Gambian international Alassana Jatta is on the verge of completing a permanent transfer to Portuguese Liga side Casa Pia after a full agreement was reached with English club Notts County, Footy-Africa can exclusively reveal.
The move brings an end to weeks of negotiations, with the 27-year-old attracting significant interest from clubs across England and Europe before opting for a new challenge in Portugal.
Jatta was the subject of enquiries from several clubs during the summer transfer window, including English side Plymouth Argyle and Danish Superliga outfit AC Horsens, while other overseas clubs also expressed interest in securing his signature.
