Zuriko Davitashvili is undoubtedly the biggest satisfaction for AS Saint-Etienne during this first part of the season. Indeed, the 23-year-old Georgian winger, who arrived this summer from the Girondins de Bordeaux for 6 million euros, has already scored 5 goals in 11 Ligue 1 matches.
The problem is that Davitashvili is the only offensive element to respond positively to the demands of Ligue 1. Proof of this is that the Greens have only scored 10 goals since the start of the season, including 5 by the Georgian. And precisely, regarding the attack, a promising scorer is starting to make a name for himself.
Djylian N'Guessan, young 16-year-old striker, signed his first professional contract with AS Saint-Étienne (ASSE) this Monday. Coming from the club's training center, N'Guessan joined ASSE at the age of 7 and quickly showed his talent.
Author of 14 goals in 17 matches with the Blues' U16 and U17 selections, N'Guessan has a great future. “The professional signing of a player like Djylian is a success for all the cogs at the club. At his age, he already shows great abilities. His sense of goal has earned him the following of many French and foreign clubs, and the fact that he chooses to join AS Saint-Étienne shows that he wants to be part of our adventure,” declared Loïc Perrin, sports director of ASSE.
Joined the reserve team at just 16 years old, with whom he scored a goal in three matches, Djylian N'Guessan is progressing at great speed. Can he be integrated into the first team this season? This seems unlikely. However, he should definitely be included in Group A next summer.
Still, many football observers agree that N'Guessan has the potential to go very high.
