ASSE is looking for a great striker who will take it to League 1. After numerous leads like Ludovic Ajorque, Thierno Barry, the Saint-Etienne decision-makers have set their sights on Lucas Stassin. This promising Belgian international striker who will be 20 next November is signing up with the club. Arriving in Forez on the last day of the transfer window, the young player has since acclimatized to his new environment.
Stassin, an expensive transfer
ASSE took out the checkbook to attract the Belgian striker. Even if the amounts are never very exact, it seems that the transfer of the attacker is among the most expensive in the history of ASSE. For his first match, he started against Lille and the Greens won 1-0. Stassin plays an interesting game. On the other hand, he sank like the whole team during the match against Nice (0-8).
Since relegated to a substitute role, Ibrahim Sissoko delivers very good matches and scores. However, during the last match against Auxerre, Lucas Stassin became a passer for Davitashvili’s third goal. The first time he was decisive in the green jersey while waiting for his first goal.
With the Belgian hopes, he was summoned upon his arrival in Forez. The player chooses not to join his selection in order to settle properly in Saint-Etienne and work with the group. For this second gathering, he was initially not selected. Finally, he took advantage of injuries to some of his Belgian teammates to join the group. Replacing yesterday at kick-off, he came on in the 71st minute and scored on his first ball in the 72nd. He even scored twice in added time for a 2-0 Belgian victory. A smashing entry that we offer you in detail below.
The Belgian striker satisfied after the match
“I am very happy with my two goals and the three points. It’s not only thanks to me, but obviously also to the coach and my teammates. (…) I don’t see it like that (as a message to his coach, editor’s note). These are simply the laws of football. I’m used to it, but I’m happy to have been rewarded for my efforts. We have to do everything now to win Tuesday’s match against Hungary to finish this campaign well, and then we will see who we could face in the play-offs.” Comments transcribed by Walfoot.
