As the Swiss transfer window nears its close, BSC Young Boys could be on the verge of finalizing the signing of Samuel Essende.

The 27-year-old Congolese striker is currently on the books at FC Augsburg, where he has played since 2024. However, with increased competition—especially following the arrival of Michael Gregoritsch—his role has diminished in recent weeks. Although Essende is under contract in Germany until 2028, a change of scenery could be on the cards.
