After suffering a humiliating elimination in the Coupe de France against amateurs from Bergerac (National 2), ASSE – AS Saint-Etienne will now have to focus fully on Ligue 1 and its maintenance operation.
And to achieve this, the Greens of St Etienne and their coach Pascal Dupraz will have considerably strengthened their workforce during this winter Mercato by recruiting in particular Paul Bernardoni, Eliaquim Mangala, Joris Gnagnon, Falaye Sacko, Sada Thioub, Bakary Sako or even Enzo Crivelli. It’s not nothing…
But before recruiting Enzo Crivelli, ASSE had indeed multiplied the offensive tracks by trying to enlist Jean-Philippe Mateta, Serhou Guirassy or even Loïc Rémy, to name a few… But the priority target of Pascal Dupraz in attack was however well in the Bundesliga! In vain…
Indeed, according to the information of our colleagues from Foot Mercato, AS Saint-Etienne had the idea of recruiting Davie Selke (27), who has scored two goals in 14 games played with Hertha Berlin since the start of the season.
Unfortunately for the Greens, no financial agreement could be found between ASSE and Hertha Berlin for a loan from former German striker RB Leipzig, Davie Selke, at the end of the winter Mercato. Too bad, a huge miss for the Forez club, where Wahbi Khazri and Denis Bouanga play!
