Finally ! In search of a striker for several mercatos, ASSE rounded off the arrival of Anthony Modeste on Monday evening. Hours before the end of the transfer market, the Loire club announced the arrival on loan, with no option to buy, of the Cologne striker until the end of the season.
At 32, the Frenchman has only made eight appearances (225 minutes played) in the Bundesliga this season, never finding the loophole. Often injured, he also has a complicated relationship with his trainer Markus Gisdol. Anthony Modeste therefore wanted a change of air to relaunch and ASSE was won over by his profile.
Good head, the attacker (1.87 m), strong and solid, can be a good point of support and especially a formidable goleador, like his two seasons of hell in Cologne (45 goals in 73 matches), just before joining China for sixteen me before returning to the German club.
In Saint-Etienne, the former player of Nice, Bordeaux and Bastia will follow in the footsteps of his dad, Guy, Vert between 1973 and 1979.
