Ligue 1 side Bordeaux are spending their transfer deadline day attempting to secure a new centre-back. The relegation-threatened side are currently workshopping deals for Manchester United outcast Phil Jones, Andreas Maxso, and Anel Ahmedhodzic, three very different players who could make a big difference to the side.<\/p>\n
News broke recently<\/a> that Bordeaux were aiming to sign Manchester United’s Phil Jones in a loan deal that would have seen the 29-year-old make the move to France in a bid to find form.\u00a0 Most recent reports have stated that the deal is off<\/a> with Jones himself turning down the opportunity due to a lack of assurances over the playing time he can expect in France. The deal is now said to have collapsed, with Jones expected to remain at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n From out-of-favour veteran to highly sought-after starlet, Anel Ahmedhodzic is in quite a different career state than Jones. Fabrizio Romano is reporting<\/a> that Bordeaux have now completed the signing. The 22-year-old is already a fixture in the Malmo side, having made 12 appearances for the team in the Champions League this year. Ahmedhodzic has drawn interest from a number of top teams around Europe but Bordeaux may beat them all to the punch.<\/p>\n While the club is aiming to get the two aforementioned deals done they are keeping tabs on Andreas Maxso as a potential signing. The 27-year-old is a constant fixture in the Brondby side and made his Denmark debut in November 2020 after impressing at club level. He is a solid passing defender who has a commanding presence. Again Bordeaux have found themselves a solid alternative if their main targets can’t be signed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Main Photo<\/p>\n <\/p>\nAnel Ahmedhodzic<\/h3>\n
