In the red financially like many other clubs in League 1 due to the terrible Covid-19 pandemic, theASSE had very few, if not almost none, means to recruit during the last Mercato summery.
But Claude Puel had the good idea, with his networks, to complete the arrival in the form of a loan of Yvan Neyou (23 years old), from SC Braga. And from his first official match played with the Greens of St Etienne, during the Coupe de France final lost to PSG from Neymar and Kylian Mbappé at the Stade de France (0-1), the young Franco-Cameroonian midfielder quickly got everyone to agree as he impressed.
Yes Yvan Neyou subsequently confirmed in League 1, despite the delicate sporting situation that theASSE for several weeks, the leaders of Saint-Etienne formalized his final transfer on the side of theAS Saint-Etienne this Wednesday !
Indeed, SC Braga and the Forez club have completed this agreement for about 500,000 euros. A golden affair. Yes, the Greens can thank Claude Puel on that one …
Yvan Neyou is therefore officially committed to theASSE until June 2024. To the delight of Stéphane supporters !
