Neuchâtel Xamax FC have signed two Senegalese players as the first fruits of a partnership deal with Senegalese first division side ASC Jaraaf Dakar.
Three-year deals
Cheikh Daffe, a 25-year-old defensive midfield player, and Alioune Badara Niakhasso, a more forward-minded midfield player who is 23, have both signed three-year deals with the Swiss club. Xamax, beaten 6-0 by FC Basel in Sunday's Swiss Cup final, agreed the partnership last week.
