The promoted seems determined to do more than figuration for his return to Ligue 1!

Although his role has diminished among the Greens, the 34-year-old winger can still be of great help, like his 6 goals scored and his assist from his 29 league appearances last year.
After 9 seasons spent with the Stéphanois, he could offer himself an interesting new challenge with ESTAC. Note that OGC Nice and Christophe Galtier, former coach of Romain Hamouma at ASSE from 2012-2017, would also be on the file …
