AS Saint-Etienne have targeted young TFC midfielder Stijn Spierings, but it’s far from won.
In difficulty since the start of the season, the Greens have started to climb slightly in the standings (14th). Claude Puel’s men have not known defeat for 5 games (1 victory and 4 draws). In order to continue this momentum, the Saint-Etienne leaders would like to strengthen themselves during the next transfer window. ASSE would have targeted Sasa Zdjelar, player playing in Serbian D1. But according to information from the very serious Telegraaf, it is also in France that the Greens have views, and more particularly in Ligue 2, on the side of Toulouse: Stijn Spierings, a young 24-year-old midfielder has hit the mark. eye of ASSE.
Arrived from Levski Sofia to TFC for 500,000 euros last October, the Dutchman immediately won in the midfield of the Violets. Scorer 6 times in 11 games, he is one of Patrice Garande’s key elements. However, the Toulouse leaders would have no intention of parting with their player. Currently third in Ligue 2, the TFC hopes to regain the elite next season, and selling Stijn Spierings this winter seems unthinkable. Worst attack in Ligue 1, ASSE has scored only 16 goals in the league. Unconvinced by the performances of Romain Hamouma but especially Wahbi Khazri or Charles Abi, Claude Puel would like to recruit an offensive player likely to finally find the way to the net. If the TFC midfielder fits perfectly with the profile sought by the Greens, the Stéphanois leaders risk being short of financial arguments if Toulouse continues to be so firm.
