AS Saint-Etienne confirms the signing of Greek defender Panagiotis Retsos, who is on loan from Leverkusen.

ASSE finally gave Claude Puel the central defender he wanted, because the coach of the Greens was well aware that after the departure of Wesley Fofana things could not stop there. After a short but intense negotiation with Leverkusen, AS Saint-Etienne obtained the loan for a season from Panagiotis Retsos, the Greek international defender who arrives in Forez with a call option.

I am very happy to sign in Saint-Étienne and motivated to take up a new challenge. Coming to ASSE is a great opportunity. It is a club where young players have the opportunity to express themselves. I can’t wait to get to know my new teammates and play my first matches in Green “Said Panagiotis Retsos, who will wear number 4 at AS Saint-Etienne.
