The daily L’Équipe takes stock this week on the tracks studied by AS Saint-Etienne to replace Wesley Fofana.
High profile since the resumption of football, Wesley Fofana will be leaving AS Saint-Etienne. The young defender is set to join Leicester for the € 40million win. A very difficult offer for ASSE to refuse in the current context. And according to information from The team, the Forez club should not make a very substantial investment to find its replacement.
Benkovic, Puel’s priority
The French daily cites 4 names to potentially replace Fofana. Claude Puel’s priority will be Filip Benkovic, on loan to Bristol from Leicester. A player that the Greens coach knows well for having coached for the Foxes. Always according to The team, Senegalese Ousseynou Ba (24) and Pape Abou Cissé (25), who both play at Olympiakos, or young Frenchman Malang Sarr, just transferred to Chelsea and potentially available on loan, would also be avenues studied by decision-makers in Saint-Etienne.
