Embroiled in defensive problems since Wesley Fofana left Leicester City, theASSE seeks a solution to its woes for the winter transfer window. Out of six consecutive defeats in League 1, the men of Claude Puel may well have found their defensive solution at a lower cost, the time to make some adjustments.
ASSE will strengthen its defense
ASSE have conceded 12 goals in their last six matches. Six meetings for as many defeats, this is the sad streak of the moment. The Greens are 15th in Ligue 1 and have not succeeded since the departure of Welsey Fofana to Leicester City in the summer transfer window, against 35 million euros excluding bonus. A great financial affair, but which completely immersed the team of Claude Puel years of doubt. Eager to strengthen his defensive footing, the Forézien coach would like to bring back on loan William saliba, lacking playing time at Arsenal. But a former ASSE defender could do the trick while he finds a longer-term option. An arrival which would cost little to the people of Stéphane, but which could really help out and bring experience to a group that really needs it.
A former Green in reinforcement
Defender ofASSE until 2016, the Senegalese Moustapha Bayal Sall has always been interested in a return to the Greens. Free from any contract, the defender, at 35, is a club lover. While playing at Lyon-Duchère (now SC Lyon), in National, he explained to Square Posts, to have “remained professional” in his work and to have “still a good level”. He expressed his desire to return: “I would like to return to theAS Saint-Etienne and finish my career there, then have a retraining in this club, why not? “In an interview with In green and against all, Moustapha Bayal Sall revealed to have offered his services to the Greens. “The president gave me everything, the club gave me everything. I have green blood, I love this club and I will always love it. I had discussed with the president when I was on vacation in the region. I had proposed to the president to come back, even two years, to finish my career and then to be able to take care of the young people of the club. I had no feedback and I did not have the opportunity discuss it again with him “. It may be time to sit down at the negotiating table once again …
