Stuck at the bottom of the Ligue 1 table, AS Saint-Etienne must strengthen itself this winter. Saint-Etienne recruiters have targeted a versatile profile in MLS with the Algerian-Canadian Mohamed Farsi. But, we will have to face an English club in this matter.
The Ligue 2-Ligue 1 transition is difficult and it is not AS Saint-Etienne who will say the opposite. The Greens have kept a team very close to the one which obtained its ticket to the elite last May. Unfortunately, the young Saint-Etienne team appears very weak against the French behemoths. 16th in Ligue 1, ASSE has just changed coach, focusing on Eirik Horneland. It will also be necessary to find new players in January. The lack of quality in the Forezian squad will perhaps be reduced by Mohamed Farsi.
Farsi, the ideal right piston for ASSE?
The Algerian international is in fact on the shelves of Saint-Etienne according to the X information account Arobase Dzair. The 25-year-old celebrated his first 4 caps with the Fennecs at the end of 2024. Able to play as a right midfielder or as a right back, Farsi currently plays in MLS in the Columbus Crew franchise. Kilmer Sports recruiters know him well as he is a native of Montreal and also has Canadian nationality.
ASSE, however, has concerns in this matter. The Greens face competition from the English from Blackburn. The Championship club has already contacted the Algerian player's agents with a view to a transfer according to Arobase Dzair. Saint-Etienne leaders will have to act quickly, whether with a definitive purchase or a loan with an option to purchase. Both solutions remain possible at present. Enough to allow the 16th in Ligue 1 to strengthen at a lower cost.
