Following the stinging setback in the Mostafa Mohamed case, AS Saint-Etienne has activated a new lead abroad.
Before facing Nice on Sunday, the Forez club are in crisis. Unable to win any match since December, ASSE even remains on three straight defeats, so a scathing 0-5 in the derby against OL … Plunged into the fight for maintenance, with four points ahead of the last three of the French championship, Sainté aims to restart the machine with the help of the transfer window. Except that for the moment, Claude Puel multiple failures. In search of a central defender and a goalscorer, the French coach has still not found the right fit. It must be said that the elements are raging a bit against ASSE in this month of January. Very close to completing the arrival of Mostafa Mohamed, Saint-Etienne, for example, learned of the signing of the Egyptian striker in Galatasaray on Thursday evening.
In recent hours, the Greens have therefore activated a new offensive plan. And according to Foot Mercato’s information, ASSE is now targeting Cyle Larin. At 25, the Canada international is having a great season at Besiktas. Despite his 12 goals in 19 Super Lig games, Larin could be pushed out to make room for Cenk Tosun, set to return to Turkey after a bad experience at Everton. Should this ever happen, ASSE will swiftly take action to try to recruit Larin, whose price is estimated to be between five and ten million euros.
