The young midfielder Paul Eymard (2008) participated this Wednesday in his first training session with the professional group of ASSE. A symbolic step in the emergence of a talent in the making, recently selected for the Euro U17 with the French team.
Only 17, Paul Eymard (photo with Lamine Fomba above) lived a special day this Wednesday. Called by the Staff Stéphanois, the young midfielder trained at the club joined the training of pros at the Robert-Herbin sports center. A strong mark of confidence on the part of the Loire supervision, which closely follows the evolution of a player deemed as one of the most promising of his generation.
International U17 (21 selections for 6 goals), Eymard was recently selected to compete in the Euro in the category with the Blueberries, a logical reward with regard to its performances in the U19 national championship and in N3. Smart player, technically clean and already mature in the game, he represents one of the jewels of the Stéphanoise training.
ASSE wants to secure it quickly
Aware of the potential of the player, AS Saint-Etienne does not want to waste time. According to our information, the club started concrete steps to have Paul Eymard signed his first three -season professional contract. If nothing is official yet, the signature could intervene in the coming days.
-The will is clear: to secure one of the brightest elements of the training center in the face of the interest that its services already arouse from French and European recruiters. This project is part of the valuation policy of young local talents, of which Eymard is one of the most brilliant symbols.
A confidence displayed by the club
The fact of having been invited to a session with the pro group speaks volumes about the confidence that the technical staff gives it. An important step in the construction of a young player, who was concentrated and applied alongside experienced executives.
Pending a possible signature, Paul Eymard continues his apprenticeship, both with young people and now, under observation at the highest level. A path drawn towards the green light of Geoffroy-Guichard.
