Algerian football club JS Kabylie is set to finalize its eighth signing of the summer transfer window with the addition of left-back Toufik Zeghdane. Zeghdane, who has previously played for USMA and MCA, joined the team's training session in Zekri, Algeria, pending the official signing of his contract. His addition is expected to provide competition for Walid Bencherifa, who has been with the club for three seasons.
Zeghdane's signing is part of JS Kabylie's efforts to bolster its squad ahead of the new season.

In addition to Zeghdane, Burkinabé defender Souleymane Kouanda has also joined the team's training sessions, pending the signing of his contract.

The team's coaching staff will be monitoring his progress before making a final decision on his inclusion in the squad.
Goalkeeper Abdelkader Salhi, who was absent from the team's first two training sessions, was expected to join the team in the afternoon. According to the club's management, Salhi was granted permission to attend to personal matters and was scheduled to rejoin the team later. There had been speculation about his potential departure from the club, but Salhi has reportedly informed the management that he will continue with JS Kabylie.
