a midfielder, trained in Liverpool, targeted for January

After a winger at 4 million euros and a full-back at 3 million euros, AS Saint-Etienne is this time interested in an attacking midfielder. According to information from Républicain Sportif, the Greens have a certain Yan Dhanda in their sights.

Yan Dhanda, “one of the revelations of the Scottish championship”

Aged 25, he is an English attacking midfielder, who has been playing for the Heart of Midlothian club (Scottish D1) since this summer. Not necessarily a starter, he played almost all of his team's matches for a statistical record of one goal and one assist in 15 matches, all competitions combined (Europa Conference League + Scottish championship).

However, still according to the same source, Yan Dhanda would have completely revealed himself in Scotland. “Dhanda has stood out this season for his technique and his playing intelligence. His small size does not prevent him from establishing himself as one of the revelations of the Scottish championship, thus drawing attention to his talents as a leader. game”we can read in the Républicain Sportif.

A transfer estimated at €1.5 million

However, ASSE, which has just experienced some changes in its organizational chart, would not be the only club interested in the 25-year-old player. Other teams would also closely monitor the performances of the Englishman, who was trained at Liverpool but never played professionally there, and could disrupt the Greens in negotiations.

Under contract until May 2027, Yan Dhanda would be available for around 1.5 million euros in the winter transfer window, knowing that he arrived free at Heart of Midlothian this summer. The attacking midfielder could bring his creative touch and dynamism to the ASSE midfield.

And this, even if his adaptation to Ligue 1 could prove difficult for a player who has only played in the Championship (English D2) and the Scottish first division during his young career.
