Here is the first recruit from Saint-Etienne. Former club striker Bakary Sako (2009-2012) signed a contract until the end of the season with Saint-Etienne. Without a club for almost two years and his departure from Pafos FC (Cyprus), the Malian international (19 caps) had been training for a few weeks with the Greens.

Praised by Pascal Dupraz on his arrival, Bakary Sako reinforces an orphan attack by Denis Bouanga and Wahbi Khazri who will play the CAN (from January 9 to February 6). “Returned to the Robert-Herbin Sports Center two months ago to gain strength with the professional reserve, the now 33-year-old striker was able to convince with his qualities and his motivation intact almost ten years after his departure from ASSE, explained the club via a press release.
