AS Saint-Etienne : This prodigy should make Niang forget Puel | ASSE News

The end of the transfer window left a bitter taste on the side of ASSE. Indeed, Saint Etienne saw the Rennais M’Baye Niang pass him under his nose in the last minutes of the transfer window, in particular because of the requests of the agents of the Senegalese striker. But Claude Puel has more than one trick up its sleeve and is betting on a young prodigy.

A Paul Pogba profile for ASSE?

TheASSE does not intend to waste time to get back in the saddle after the aborted loan of the striker of Rennais Stadium M’Baye Niang. If the Greens were eager to engage the goalscorer Rouge et Noir, it seems that the page is now definitively turned for the player as for Stéphanois coach Claude Puel. However, a young nugget points the tip of his nose towards Saint-Etienne and could well make the supporters forget the inconvenience of the last days of the transfer window. And it is towards a young midfielder of the team of France U18 let all eyes now turn.

Known by Landry Chauvin

Landry Chauvin, the coach of the French U18s, is full of praise for his favorite midfielder, Lucas Gourna-Douath. At only 17 years old, the midfielder has already played four meetings with the ASSE first team since the start of the season in Ligue 1, after signing his first professional contract at the end of last season, when he was not was only 16 years old. Chauvin says of Gourna-Douath that he makes him “think a little of Paul Pogba at the same age”. A superb compliment, coming from a training ace, reported by Square Posts. “What I like is his investment,” added Landry Chauvin for whom Lucas Gourna-Douath is “a positive leader”. What reassure the supporters of ASSE and give ideas to Claude Puel.
