A transfer is said to be imminent at Bundesliga club Hartberg: According to reports in the English media, winger Ruben Providence could be moving to the island. The legionnaire, who the East Styrians acquired from AS Roma on a permanent basis, has already completed trial training sessions in England.

Hartberg are probably on the verge of selling Ruben Providence. The 23-year-old Frenchman, who matured in the youth teams of Paris Saint-Germain and AS Roma, has played 54 games for TSV since the fall of 2022, scoring ten goals and providing seven assists. Providence was occasionally celebrated in Hartberg during his appearances - but the winger was often only on the substitutes' bench under coach Markus Schopp.

Now the Styrian club may have decided to cash in on the legionnaire (market value: 500,000 euros). Media in England are reporting that Providence already took part in trial training sessions with Championship clubs Oxford United and Swansea City in the summer. It now remains to be seen whether Providence will accept the offer and whether a transfer will materialize - of course, the offer to TSV must also be right. At English second division club Swansea, however, Providence is said to be one of several candidates, so the deal is not yet done.
