ASSE – AS Saint-Etienne, led by a very good Ryad Boudebouz, surely deserved better than this cruel defeat against RC Lens by the incredible Seko Fofana, Saturday on his lawn at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, during the 21st day of Ligue 1 (1-2).
Despite its many absences between those who left for the CAN such as Wahbi Khazri or Denis Bouanga, as well as those who tested positive for Covid-19, the Greens of St Etienne will have done much better than competing against RC Lens, but in the end, the men by Pascal Dupraz will once again have been beaten and therefore remain dead last in the L1 standings…
This is why ASSE is seeking to strengthen itself in all areas of the game, and after having already snatched the signatures of Joris Gnagnon and Bakary Sako, while validating the loans of Paul Bernardoni and Sada Thioub, the leaders of Saint-Etienne and Pascal Dupraz should make a nice move on this Mercato with the arrival of the experienced Eliaquim Mangala… but another important decision was taken by AS Saint-Etienne at the start of the week!
Indeed, according to the information of our colleagues from Goal Soccer Club, ASSE would have refused an offer of 2M€ from a club in the East, whose identity has not been filtered, for Charles Abi (21), who nevertheless plays very little on the side of the EAG – In Avant Guinamp where he is currently on loan (only one small goal in nine Ligue 2 games).
A choice that is both surprising when you know how much the Forez club needs to get money into its coffers… but not illogical either given that Charles Abi has always been considered one of the biggest current hopes of the Greens of St Etienne training center…
