Monday, AS Saint-Etienne managed to complete the arrival of Anthony Modeste in extremis. The striker gave his first impressions to the official website of the Greens. “They are strong, they are beautiful. Today is really a great day and a source of pride for me because as everyone knows, it is my father’s former club. For me, that means a lot. It’s up to me to make the story even better on the pitch. It’s a snap, we have to come full circle. It is true that my name has been associated with Saint-Etienne a lot in previous years. But it could not be done for various reasons. Today it happened and I think it’s a sign that I’m here. I will do my best with my teammates to achieve our goals ”.
His arrival was also settled quickly: “It was very, very fast. At 4 p.m., my agent called me to ask if I was interested in Saint-Etienne. I said yes frankly it’s a legendary club, my father played there so if it’s possible to do it why not. Anyway in Cologne, playing time, I didn’t have much. I want to thank Cologne and ASSE as the operation was able to be done quite quickly. Now I will enjoy with my teammates on the pitch ”. It’s up to him to play!
