AS Saint-Etienne : A 20-year nugget in Dupraz’s plans | ASSE News

A new name is added to the list of players targeted by ASSE. That of a Norwegian prospect playing in Valerenga in his native country.

ASSE has its sights set on Osame Sahraoui

ASSE would have views on Osame Sahrawi, a 20-year-old right-handed left winger. Information revealed on Tuesday by Norwegian media. They learn that Pascal Dupraz appreciates the profile of the Norwegian nugget. The latter would also be sensitive to the interest of AS Saint-Etienne, according to the Norwegian press. The profile of the target of Stéphanois is even described by the Nordisk Norway Twitter account. “Very good dribbler, punchy and fast, who mainly plays on the wings. He is better at distributing the balls than at the finish. Sometimes he keeps the ball a little too much, but nothing exceptional, “said the source.

Osame Sahraoui is however under contract with Valerenga Fotball until December 31, 2023. According to Transfermarkt, he is worth 1.5 million euros on the transfer market. International since October 2021, he has a total of 4 selections with the Espoirs, for a goal scored. In the absence of Denis bounaga (at the Africa Cup of Nations) and in anticipation of the departure ofArnaud Nordin (at the end of the contract in June), Osame Sahraoui would be an ideal reinforcement for Pascal Dupraz. Especially since the track leading to Zinedine Ferhat from Nîmes Olympique has been moving away since the opening of the winter transfer window.

The track leading to Zinédine Ferhat narrows

“This is one track among others. But at his best, he’s an interesting player, “explained Pascal Dupraz, reacting to the rumor about ASSE’s interest in Zinédine Ferhat. However, the versatile player still hesitates to join ASSE, because of the situation of the Loire club. Indeed, the Stéphanois are last in Ligue 1, at mid-season and threatened with relegation to Ligue 2.

Note that the Algerian international (13 selections), marketed by the management of Crocodiles, would have received several offers. He therefore takes his time to choose the best proposal. Nîmes, however, wishes to transfer him this winter, because his contract ends next June and he would leave without transfer compensation in the summer.
