Tondela just made a big move, officially bringing in Jordan Siebatcheu to boost their squad. The 29-year-old American international joins on loan from Stade Reims. He becomes the 13th new player for the Beirão club this season. This news brings fresh energy to the team’s ambitions.
Siebatcheu sounds genuinely thrilled to be here. “I am very happy and excited to be here,” he told reporters. He can’t wait to meet his new teammates and step onto the field for his first game. As for his goals, they’re pretty clear: “I hope to score many goals and have fun with everyone here at Tondela.” The striker has already passed his medical exams. He will join the group led by coach Ivo Vieira later this week.
He brings a lot of experience from playing in German and French football. Siebatcheu shared an interesting comparison about his new challenge. He believes Portuguese football is quite similar to Spain’s style. “There is a love for the game,” he explained. Teams like to play attacking football and put on a show for the fans. “This is a bit like what happens in France too,” he added. For a striker, that’s exactly what you want. He needs to score goals to celebrate with both the fans and his new teammates.
Siebatcheu painted a clear picture of his playing style. “I am a true penalty box striker,” he stated firmly. He’s also happy to play with a second forward nearby if needed. But his main goal is simple: “above all, what I like is to be in the finishing zone and score goals.” At 1.91 meters tall, the American forward adds a significant physical presence. He promised to give Miro some real competition for the most advanced spot in Tondela’s starting eleven.
