AS Saint-Etienne : Mercato: a great find on the verge of escaping the Greens? | ASSE News

Zapping Goal! Football club ASSE: players at the end of their contract in 2021

Trained at PSV Eindhoven, left-back Kenneth Paal is coming off a good season with his Dutch club PEC Zwolle, 13th in the last Dutch league. Tracked in particular by Bordeaux, Celtic and ASSE, it was finally Barnsley, the Championship club (English D2), who made an initial offer of € 750,000. While it was turned down by Zwolle and other clubs might come up with better offers, the player has already given England D2 his preference.

“My former PEC teammate Gustavo Hamer, who left for Coventry (England D2) last year, is doing so well that he is now followed by Premier League clubs. The Championship is a great championship, j ‘I would love to play there one day. It is the English second division but don’t be fooled by its level. I’m sure a lot of the top Dutch clubs would struggle there. “

“It’s great to be followed by several clubs but as it is, I will still be playing Zwolle next season. I am focusing on my club PEC and just trying to stay as sober as possible. , I’ll see if any proposals become really concrete. Abroad, I’ve always said it, England is my preference. That’s where I can get the most out of my game. “

As it stands, AS Saint-Etienne will have to be persuasive if they are to sign the 24-year-old Dutch full-back.
