One of the most bizarre incidents have taken place in football on Thursday when Switzerland’s Stade Lausanne and Spanish club Hercules have both announced the signing of Comoros international and free agent Rafidine Abdullah.

Abdullah came through Olympique de Marseille’s youth sector until earning his first call to the giant French club’s senior side in 2012. He left for FC Lorient a year later and spent three years before joining Cadiz CF.

He ended up at Belgian club Waasland-Beveren in summer 2018 and was released six months later.

The 24-year-old started his journey with Spanish side Hercules this week and the club promptly announced his arrival for a trial on their official website.

However, Swiss second division side Stade Lausanne declared Abdullah as a new signing of the Comoros international on their official Twitter account 15 minutes later.

But apparently Lausanne will be his next permanent home with Abdullah being announced on an 18-month deal, while Hercules claimed it was an assessment with an option to sign him.
