The ASSE wasted no time signing a player who will join his first team. While the winter transfer window has not yet opened, the managers of Saint-Etienne have done a kind of warm-up with the signing of a goalkeeper.
ASSE Mercato: Finally a solution to Ruffier’s absence?
With the sanctions of Stéphane Ruffier, who no longer appears in the eleven of Claude Puel, ASSE relied on Jessy Moulin alone for its matches. Without much noise, the club was looking for a doorman to replace him or to replace him. The latter was found in Senegal and it is called Boubacar Fall. This goalkeeper, just 19 years old, signed a professional contract with the Greens. This is insider information Manu Lonjon. He posted on his Twitter account: “Boubacar Fall (goalkeeper born in 2001 – Espoir Guediawaye) has signed a professional contract with ASSE!”
Who is Boubacar Fall, the new ASSE porter?
Boubacar Fall is a young Senegalese porter. He was playing in Guediawaye’s hopeful team, the main club in one of Senegal’s 45 departments and one of the Dakar region’s 4 departments. Boubacar Fall impressed Senegalese scouts from AS Saint-Étienne, who stepped up their commitment to the Loire club. The goalkeeper was so decisive that he could be gauged with his country’s international hopefuls.
This news reassures a little more the fans not always unanimous on the level of Jessy Moulin. The holder of the As Saint-Étienne has certainly made important saves this season, but he remains less decisive than the Bayonnais blacklisted by Claude Puel following their differences that emerged in the first months after the arrival of the manager of the Greens.
