Fourteenth in Ligue 1 at the break, Saint-Etienne would like to strengthen its workforce during the winter transfer window.
Unsurprisingly, ASSE does not have a financial windfall allowing Claude Puel to splurge on the transfer market. However, the boss of the Greens hopes to recruit a striker, a central defender and if possible an attacking midfielder. In attack, the name of Mostafa Mohamed (23 years old) has filtered out, with a possible offer of up to 3.5 ME at the stake. According to information obtained by Ghana Soccer, Saint-Etienne has also identified a very interesting target in midfield in the person of Kamal Sowah.
Under contract with Manchester City, the 20-year-old Ghanaian midfielder has been loaned to Leuven in Belgian D1 this season. With 6 goals and 4 assists, he established himself as one of the best players on his team, which did not escape the scouts of Saint-Etienne. According to the African media outlet, ASSE is seriously considering making an offer of 2 ME to Leicester to get Kamal Sowah back. At this time, it is unclear whether the Foxes intend to sell their young attacking midfielder, or whether Brendan Rodgers intends to loan him out next season as well to make him more aggressive. In any case, this is an interesting avenue for Saint-Etienne, which fits perfectly with the club’s policy on the transfer window.
