AS Saint-Etienne : ASSE is interested in a Lens scorer | ASSE News

The leaders of AS Saint-Etienne would be very interested in the profile of the Cameroonian center-forward of Lens, Ignatius Ganago.

We will be able to present a more offensive team when we have found everyone and we can recruit, announced Pascal Dupraz this week on the columns of the daily Progress. I was clear: we want a central defender, a striker and a side. “After formalizing the arrival of the central defender, Eliaquim Mangala, the Forez club is now seeking to satisfy the two other requests from the Stéphane coach.

In search of a reinforcement at the forefront of the attack since the start of the winter transfer market, the Ligue 1 formation has activated several avenues. At the top of the shortlist, we find Jean-Philippe Mateta, the striker of Crystal Palace. Coming to the end of his lease with the English club, the Frenchman is waiting for the two parties to reach an agreement in this file. Vedat Muriqi, the Cosovar striker of Lazio Rome, would also be in the small papers of Pascal Dupraz according to the Italian press. These two tracks would not, however, be the only ones to have been activated by AS Saint-Etienne.

To believe Foot Mercato, RC Lens striker Ignatius Ganago would be of interest to Saint-Etienne recruiters. The latter would have probed the artesian club about a loan until the end of the current sporting exercise. Under contract with the Sang et Or until 2024, the Cameroonian had a respectable first part of the season with four goals scored in eight starts. In lack of playing time, the 22-year-old striker will be spoiled for choice if he decides to start a new adventure in January. In addition to the interest of the Greens, Ignatius Ganago would also be in the sights of Newcastle and Lorient.
