Passionate about football since a young age, becoming a sports journalist quickly became obvious to Hugo. He would later discover a love for the NBA, before exploring other horizons such as Formula 1 and the NFL.

On the last day of the summer transfer window, ASSE completed the most expensive transfer in its history by securing the services of Lucas Stassin, recruited for an amount estimated at €10 million. The 19-year-old striker admitted to having experienced a “slightly weird” transfer window due to the Euro, and expected to experience a new season with Westerlo.

We had to wait until the last day of the summer transfer window to see theASSE recruit his long-awaited attacker. After failing to secure the services ofIrvin Cardonaloaned by Augsburg in the second part of last season, the Greens finally set their sights on Lucas Stassin. A transfer estimated at €10M, the most expensive in the history ofAS Saint-Etienne.

“I was also ready to do one more season in the Belgian championship”

In an interview given to The evening, Lucas Stassin returned to his transfer to theASSE and admitted that at first he thought he would stay Westerlo : « It was a bit of a strange transfer window due to the Euro in particular. I resumed the season with Westerlo and everything was going very well (two goals and three assists in the first five Jupiler Pro League games, editor's note). I was also ready to do one more season in the Belgian championship, especially since my last season had been tarnished by an injury. Then, there was interest from several clubs, both in Belgium and abroad. »

“It was Saint-Étienne who convinced me by presenting me with a clear project”

Despite these numerous interests, it is ultimately the project presented by theASSE who convinced Lucas Stassin. « But it was Saint-Étienne who convinced me by presenting me with a clear, very precise project. The club showed me that it had studied me well, and not just in one match. Finally, Saint-Étienne is still a legendary club in , with a great history and very warm supporters. », added the 19-year-old attacker, in comments relayed by EVECT.
