In great difficulty for several weeks, theASSE of Denis Bouanga and Romain Hamouma took a football lesson from his neighbor during the derby between theOL and theAS Saint-Etienne, at Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium on behalf of the 21st day of League 1 (0-5).

After noting the dismissal of Stephane Ruffier on the side of theASSE, shortly after the official opening of Mercato winter, Claude Puel and the Greens of St Etienne have as a priority to recruit Mostafa Mohamed (23 years old, Zamalek). But if negotiations drag on concerning the transfer of the Egyptian international striker, the current sixteenth in Ligue 1 will have to seriously consider strengthening his defensive sector, the heavy defeat against Lyon having left traces …

And good news for the supporters of theAS Saint-Etienne : discussions are currently underway between the FC Bruges and the Greens of St Etienne concerning Simon deli (29 years old), according to the information of our colleagues from Foot Mercato.

This solid Ivorian international central defender (16 caps, 1m92), who was still an indisputable holder with the reigning champion of Belgium last season and with whom he had notably played in the Champions League, no longer seems to enter into the plans of Philippe Clement for this 2020/2021 fiscal year.

Under contract until June 2022 with the FC Bruges, Simon deli has not played since the loss to La Gantoise on December 20 and was not in the group of the current leader of Jupiler Pro League in the last three meetings against Beerschot, Oostende and Genk.

TheASSE would therefore like to take this opportunity to obtain a loan with option to buy Simon Deli during this winter Mercato, according to the French media. And let it be said: the Ivorian would do the greatest good toAS Saint-Etienne, driven by Claude Puel, in its operation “maintenance in Ligue 1” …
