After one last Mercato summer very poorly managed on theASSE, especially with cases Stephane Ruffier, Ryad Boudebouz or Wahbi Khazri, the Greens of St Etienne of Claude Puel are currently in 14th place in the ranking of the League 1.
In great financial difficulty, theAS Saint-Etienne will not have large means to recruit during the transfer market in January. If Islam Slimani (Leicester City) or Kamal Sowah (OH Louvain) and Mostafa Mohamed (Zamalek) are targeted by theASSE, it would ultimately be a young Senegalese goalkeeper who should be the first recruit of the Greens of St Etienne So Mercato winter: Boubacar Fall (19 years old).
Currently under contract with the Senegalese club of the Espoirs de Guiédawaye, Boubacar Fall is the titular goalkeeper of the Senegal U20 national team (he has already been called up to the A where he was the third goalkeeper behind Edouard Mendy and Alfred Gomis) and the latter would be expected in the next few hours at theAS Saint-Etienne to sign a contract for a period of three and a half years, according to the information of our colleagues from RMC Sport.
Yes Boubacar Fall, who has the same agent as Yvann Maçon, seems to be a keeper with a bright future, his recruitment would however be surprising within the Forez club. Indeed, despite the announced departure of Stephane Ruffier and the fact that Jessy Moulin (34 years old) is no longer very young, theASSE already has two promising young goalkeepers in its workforce with Etienne Green (20 years old) and above all Stefan Bajic (19 years old), holder with the French U19 team.
Case to be followed during this Saint-Etienne mercato…
