ASSE is looking for a reinforcement in attack, with its meager means. Here are six players for whom no one needs to pay a transfer fee to recruit them.

The quest of a suitable number 9 intensifies at ASSE, a few days before the end of the transfer market. It is accelerating, out of necessity and need for reinforcements at the club, and because familiar names of Greens supporters are circulating. And profiles that have the particularity, but here above all, the advantage, of being free on this transfer window. We first think of Robert Beric, with which precisely, the club would discuss, according to The Team.

Gomis and Beric free and followed by ASSE

We also add, Bafe Gomis, because the Panther has just left Al Hilal, as confirmed by the club. At 36, the one who started out as a pro with AS Saint-Etienne is still motivated for a new challenge. Beric and Gomis are two tracks that force the attention of the Saint-Etienne board, in these exceptional circumstances, with a pro team adrift in the championship (last in Ligue 1) and means to recruit reduced to the bare minimum.

Former Ligue 1 players with an interesting pedigree

Others are less important, for various reasons, the link can however be made with ASSE. With the former club, Emmanuel Rivière in particular, who has just spent the last two seasons in Italy. With, otherwise, three former residents of the French championship, which offer the advantage of adaptation, which we can assume faster, for them. First there is the Belgian Isaac Mbenza (25, ex-VAFC, MHSC and Amiens SC), also Yaya Sanogo, who passed through Auxerre and Toulouse, but also the Arsenal Gunners, Ajax or Crystal Palace.

This courted and possibly expensive, Youcef Belaïli

And finally, Youcef Belaïli, whose name has also circulated in Forez, but the Algerian international winger does not only have the interest of the Greens in Ligue 1. And the salary claims that are whispered about him, seem difficult to reach for Saint-Etienne finances.
