SIG Strasbourg Transfer Watch
Follow the latest Strasbourg transfer news as the Alsace club sign Ike Udanoh, who started the season in Italy with Trieste
Strasbourg penned the versatile Bonzie Colson, who can play at both forward positions and is coming off a solid season at Darussafaka. The 24-year-old American averaged 12.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in the Turkish BSL league, with 10.8 points and 5 rebounds per contest in the EuroCup.
The French club pulled off one of the most surprising trades of the summer by convincing Czech international Jaromir Bohacik to leave ERA Nymburk and play outside his home country for the first time. The 28-year-old swingman averaged 12.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game in the 2019-20 BCL to help Nymburk reach the Final Eight.

Strasbourg also agreed in July a deal with Wes Clark, formerly of Cantú, but decided to rescind the contract following the player's medical exam and went on to sign instead Brandon Jefferson, who was the fifth-leading scorer of the 2019-20 French Jeep Elite league, in his second season at Orleans. The 28-year-old point guard averaged 16.2 points, on 43.6 percent three-point shooting, and 4 assists per game.
The Alsace club also decided to put together a new duo at the 5 spot and penned Frenchman Yannis Morin from Chalons-Reims and Ebuka Izundu, who averaged 4.2 points and 3 rebounds for Real Betis in the Spanish Liga Endesa.
Strasbourg parted ways with Izundu in late December and on January 7th they replaced him with veteran, versatile big Ike Udanoh. The 31-year-old Nigerian started the 2020-21 season at Trieste and he averaged 7.2 points and 4.3 rebounds in the Serie A.
