Yvann Maçon, who has a meniscus injury, is expected to miss the next two months of competition. His absence could prompt AS Saint-Etienne to recruit a right-back, even if it means getting a player trained at Olympique Lyonnais, the Greens’ rival club.
AS Saint-Etienne has reassured itself. After three defeats for their return to Ligue 1, the Greens finally got their score off the ground with a victory against Lille (1-0) on Friday. Incidentally, coach Olivier Dall’Oglio must have appreciated Dennis Appiah’s performance at right-back, a position weakened since Yvann Maçon’s injury. The Guadeloupean, who has a meniscus injury, will miss the next two months of competition. Hence the ongoing discussions on the possible signing of a joker.
Zeffane’s profile compatible?
For a few days now, several names have been mentioned among the targets of the Saint-Etienne club. In addition to the track leading to Metz’s Kévin Van Den Kerkhof, the name of Strasbourg’s Marvin Senaya has also been mentioned. Just like the files Loïc Négo (Le Havre), Thibaut Vargas (Laval), Paul Joly (Auxerre) and Yoram Zague (Paris Saint-Germain) on the En Vert Et Contre Tous website. The specialist website adds that AS Saint-Etienne, instead of concluding a transfer with a French team, can also turn to a player who is free of any contract.
Saint-Etienne supporters would like to see the club take a bold gamble with Bouna Sarr or Cédric Soares, respectively released by Bayern Munich and Arsenal. But according to our colleagues, ” Mehdi Zeffane’s profile is more in line with what the club can currently do “. For his part, the Algerian international was not kept by Clermont last June and also represents a good deal on the market. The problem is that we are talking about a player trained at rival Lyon. Enough to prevent any possible interest? The Adrien Rabiot case proves that anything is possible.
