AS Saint-Étienne to strengthen this winter: arrival of Eirik Horneland and targeting a Ligue 1 player.
L’AS Saint-Étiennecurrently in difficulty in Ligue 1, is trying to get things back on track to avoid relegation. With the arrival of Eirik Horneland at the head of the teamSaint-Etienne leaders aim to strengthen each line of the workforce during the winter transfer window. Among the avenues explored, Joshua Casimira talented young winger from Le Havre, is attracting particular interest.
The ouster of Olivier Dall'Oglio marks a clear desire for change for the Foréz club. The arrival of Eirik Horneland, Norwegian coach, constitutes a bold gamble. Under his leadership, ASSE hopes to breathe new life into moving up the rankings.
Josué Casimir: A profile to relaunch the attack
Josué Casimir, aged 23, is currently playing at Le Havre AC. With 10 matches and 1 goal in Ligue 1 this seasonhe distinguished himself by his speed and his ability to destabilize opposing defenses. Although his statistics are modest, his potential remains undeniable.
Le Havre is going through a delicate economic period, which could facilitate negotiations. In addition, with Casimir's contract expiring in June, ASSE could take advantage of this situation to conclude a transfer at a lower costaccording to Green People.
Strengthening each line, a necessity
With one of the worst defenses in the championship, ASSE must recruit an experienced central defender to stabilize the rearguard. The lack of creativity in the middle has been a recurring weak point this season. The Greens plan to recruit a playmaker capable of energizing offensive transitions. Besides Casimir, other offensive profiles are also being studied to provide more solutions in front of goal.
The stakes of this transfer window are colossal for Saint-Étienne. With a 16th place in the standings, each decision taken during this period could determine the club's future in Ligue 1. The arrival of Josué Casimir could be the first strong signal of a renewal. However, other recruits will be needed to hope to remain in the elite of French football.
