ASSE: Puel “attentive to what may arise”
ASSE has recruited Pope Abu Cisse to strengthen in defense. His transfer from Olympiacos Piraeus was formalized on Saturday. Claude Puel is now waiting for a goalscorer in order to pull his green team up. After the failure in the file Mostafa Mohamed, who eventually signed at Galatasaray, the general manager is still looking for a top striker. The track leading to M’Baye Niang Stade Rennais has warmed up in recent hours, but the Breton club no longer wishes to cover part of his salary according to The team. Indeed, AS Saint-Étienne was very close to being loaned to the Senegalese last summer, but that was not possible in the last moments. In the summer of 2020, the SRFC was inclined to share the salary of the 26-year-old player with the Loire club according to the sports daily.
Claude Puel is certainly forced to strengthen his team offensively, but he remains very cautious during these last hours of the transfer market. “We are attentive to what he may present himself, while trying to keep a certain consistency and not do anything,” he told the daily Progress. “In one last day, you have to stay calm and look out,” said the coach of theASSE.
Charles Abi scorer, Krasso towards a loan
TheAS Saint-Etienne scored a definite victory againstOGC Nice (1-0) at the Allianz Riviera.

Unlike Abi who just scored his 2nd goal this season, Jean-Philippe Krasso is not successful. In 6 games played (220 minutes played), it was not decisive. As a result, the striker, who landed from Épinal to ASSE last summer, will leave the Loire club. He’s going back to the National, in order to have some playing time. “Yes, it should be. This will be beneficial for “Jipé” who has progressed a lot and who will still learn a lot. He will have the opportunity to play in the National and to apply everything he has learned here at AS Saint-Étienne over the past six months, “confirmed Claude Puel.
