AS Saint-Étienne is struggling this summer in the transfer market. In search of a new forward, ASSE sees a National target drift off to a surprise destination.
ASSE hard for a National goalscorer
AS Saint-Étienne wants to forget the flop Anthony Modeste this summer. The center forward on loan during the winter transfer window left no trace of his stint during his freelance with the Greens. In seven appearances, the Cologne player has not scored an even smaller goal with a single assist. After this flop, Claude Puel hopes to recruit a real goalscorer who can help the Loire club achieve its goals. ASSE has no shortage of offensive leads. The Forez club targets in particular Andrew Jung, author of 21 goals and 4 assists in National last season during his loan at Quevilly-Rouen. He was also one of the major players in the rise of QRM in Ligue 2. But like several targets in Saint-Etienne, the 23-year-old striker is far from joining Etrat.
Andrew Jung on his way to Belgium?
Taking information from Mohamed Touche-TER, Loïc Tanzi announces that Andrew Jung will be leaving Châteauroux for Belgium. The journalist of RMC Sport announce that an agreement has been reached for the transfer of the center-forward to Jupiler Pro League club KV Ostende. An amount of 900,000 euros plus a percentage is mentioned. According to the transfer window specialist, the striker will be loaned to AS Nancy-Lorraine in Ligue 2 in the aftermath. Terrible news for ASSE, which still sees a target moving away. In recent weeks, the names of Caleb Ekuban, Sandro Kulenovic or Yann Karamoh have been associated with the Greens. But each time, the ligérien club, which lacks cash, has been burned by the competition. The long-awaited arrival of a new owner in Saint-Étienne could be a game-changer.
