AS Saint-Étienne had shown marked interest in Mohamed Bamba during the last summer transfer window, in search of a new center forward. The Lorient player, although remaining in Brittany, had attracted the attention of Saint-Etienne leaders who saw him as a potential reinforcement.
In preparation for the winter transfer window, ASSE continues to follow Mohamed Bamba, according to 225 Foot, a site specializing in Ivorian football. His profile is still considered an asset for the Foréz club, which is seeking to strengthen itself to achieve its maintenance objective.
However, an injury disrupted potential plans. Mohamed Bamba injured his thigh during Lorient's match against Clermont, a meeting which ended in a 2-1 defeat. The striker had to leave the field 11 minutes after coming on.
This injury could compromise his availability for the coming weeks. If it turns out to be serious, it reduces the chances of a transfer to Saint-Étienne in January. The Stéphanois may have to review their options as the transfer period approaches.
