The ASSE winter transfer window has not been the most hectic so far. But the various rumors of recent days seem to suggest an imminent excitement, particularly in the offensive and defensive sectors. The midfielder could also be required to evolve by the end of January.
Persevere, this seems to be the credo of the Saint-Etienne leaders for this transfer window. Indeed, according to information from Swedish tabloid Expressenthe Greens are trying to enlist a midfielder they had already approached last summer. At the time, the management of ASSE made an offer but the club that owned the player refused it..
ASSE looking for a midfielder?
Indeed, according to information from Anel Avdić, journalist at Expressen, Sainté is once again interested in Timothy Ouma, a 20-year-old Kenyan midfielder belonging to IF Elfsborg. And unlike last summer, the Swedish club seems open to a departure of its player, despite a Conference League match awaiting it against OGC Nice.
The director of IF Elfsborg, Stefan Andreasson, confides that Timothy Ouma is not present in Spain on training with the rest of the team due to ongoing negotiations with ASSE, but also with Slavia Prague, also interested: “There are ongoing discussions with clubs, which is why he is not on training. We are now having a discussion with the player and his representatives.”
Finally, the Swedish newspaper mentions the club's desire to achieve a sales record with Timothy Ouma. So far, the record is held by the transfer of Hakon Valdimarsson to Brentford for 40 million Swedish crowns, the equivalent of 3.5 million euros.
