While ASSE will return to training on Monday, July 8, the transfer window is seriously coming to life. While Yunis Abdelhamid and Ben Old should arrive quickly, a defensive lead could go to a direct competitor.
We announced it to you in partnership with Oxygen Radio On June 11, Laval left-back Amin Cherni is being followed by ASSE. The revelation of the season in Mayenne, the 22-year-old Tunisian’s contract ends in a year. Estimated at 1.2 million euros, he is a player who should leave Laval this summer, allowing the Tangos to collect a nice check. Author of five goals last season, he could be a real defensive but also offensive added value for Olivier Dall’Oglio.
Amin Cherni lets ASSE down?
However, according to information from FootMercatothe young left-back would also be followed by a direct competitor of ASSE. Indeed, the rival club of Stade Lavallois, SCO d’Angers, would have come to inquire about the situation of Amin Cherni. “Attracted by the profile of the player trained at Paris FC, the SCO – who were able to appreciate the qualities of the main person concerned during the last exercise – could thus quickly take action.”Angers, who like ASSE should fight for their survival during the next exercise, would then play a bad trick on the Stéphanois.
A major contributor to Laval’s great season, which ended in 7th place, he also attracts the interest of Spanish clubs. Since the start of the transfer window, Espanyol Barcelona and Real Valladolid, two clubs promoted to La Liga, have come to the news. Still according to FM, the two Iberian clubs are unlikely to win the deal because of the transfer fee. The deal therefore remains a possibility for the Greens, who will have to be persuasive if they really want to sign Amin Cherni.
Who are you Amin Cherni?
Trained at Paris FC, Cherni will go through Paris 13 and Chambly before settling in Laval last summer. A winning bet for the Tangos! Perfectly adapted to Olivier Frapolli’s 3-5-2 system, this young left-hander is fully participating in Laval’s great season. Fast, Amin Cherni has interesting technical qualities. If he is a very good crosser, he will have especially scored 5 goals in 37 Ligue 2 matches (including 35 as a starter). Joining the elite would therefore be a great opportunity for this player who does not seem to have yet exploited his full potential. To be continued!
