Last summer, ASSE bet 10 million euros on Lucas Stassinyoung striker recruited from KVC Westerlo. But the 21-year-old Belgian is struggling to convince for the moment in Forez.
Everything is not to be thrown away in the debut of Lucas Stassin under the colors of AS Saint-Etienne. The young Belgian striker has already delivered four assists in Ligue 1, a total which is not insignificant in a team struggling to maintain itself and which is currently in 16th place in Ligue 1. On the other hand, if Saint-Etienne has bet 10 million euros on the Belgian international hopeful, recruited from KVC Westerlo is above all about scoring goals. However, for the moment, the native of Braine-le-Comte has not shaken the nets once on French lawns.
And this is starting to become worrying for the Greens, who need to have an effective scorer if they want to save themselves from potential relegation at the end of the season. Questioned by But, former Saint-Etienne player Adrien Ponsard put a lot of pressure on Lucas Stassin on this subject. “The disappointment is Stassin. He made a few assists but he still didn't score and he had very few chances. He needs to let go because so far, he hasn't shown much.” commented the consultant before continuing.
“It’s about time he started scoring”
“He plays alone up front, it's not easy, but for a player who cost 10 ME, it's time he started scoring. He must be more aggressive, more killer. Maybe Dall'Oglio should pair him with Sissoko. He hasn't found the right formula yet so why not give it a try? I think the two can be complementary, it could bear fruit” believes the one who was an ASSE striker in the 1990s. It now remains to be seen whether Olivier Dall'Oglio will manage to put Lucas Stassin in the best conditions so that the Belgian international finally shines under the Saint-Etienne colors, which is not not the case for the moment despite the significant investment made by ASSE in order to recruit him.
