Subject to rumors of departure in the winter transfer window, Joel Asoro scored his second goal of the season in Ligue 2 BKT against Grenoble (3-0). After the meeting, the Swedish striker did not hide his desire to stay at FC Metz.
What if it was one of the nice surprises for FC Metz in 2025? During the Grenats' great victory, Friday January 24, against Grenoble at the Saint-Symphorien stadium, Joel Asoro scored his second goal of the season in Ligue 2 BKT, taking advantage of a well-felt breakthrough from captain Matthieu Udol. An achievement which may seem anecdotal given the scenario of the match, but oh so precious for the morale of the Swedish striker.
“Of course if I continue to score, even coming off the bench, I will be happy. Collectively, we had to win in order to continue the series and reach our goal, the top 2. Our objective is to return to Ligue 1”confided the former Sunderland player in the mixed zone on Friday evening. Proof of his involvement in the collective project, despite oscillating playing time in recent weeks.
-Joel Asoro supersub ?
Taking over from the strong Idrissa Gueye – who did not score but did his best to tire out the Grenoble defense – Joel Asoro shifted into a supersub role, which seemed to suit him. “We need starters and replacements, that's how I can bring to the team at the moment. The more I show things, the more playing time I will have. But the most important thing is 'is to win'he assures.
During this transfer window, where a rumor sends him to Croatia, the striker has also expressed his desire to continue to defend the garnet colors. “I want to stay!” I don't control everything but like I said before, I love being here. If I can do something to help FC Metz, I would be happy. We want to return to where we belong, namely in Ligue 1”claimed Joel Asoro.
