an 8 million euro bet for the Greens

AS Saint-Étienne could strike a new blow on the young talent market. After recruiting Lucas Stassin last summer, the Saint-Etienne club would be about to try a new bet with Momodou Lamin Sonko, a young Swedish prodigy playing at La Gantoise.

Raw talent in the sights of the Greens

At just 19 years old, Sonko has already stood out in Belgium thanks to his speed, technique and offensive versatility. Considered one of the hopes of Swedish football, he represents an interesting profile for ASSE, which wishes to rejuvenate its squad while focusing on players with high potential. This choice is a continuation of the strategy adopted with Stassin, the integration of which is bearing fruit.

A substantial but strategic investment

According to information circulating in Belgium, Sonko's transfer could reach 8 million euros. A significant sum for a club like Saint-Étienne, but which could prove wise if the player confirms the expectations placed on him. However, this type of bet always carries an element of risk, particularly due to Sonko's lack of experience at the highest level.

A long-term ambition

If finalized, this recruitment would mark a new stage in the renewal policy led by ASSE. It remains to be seen whether the young striker will manage to respond to the pressure and establish himself in a demanding championship like Ligue 2. But one thing is certain: the Greens are clearly displaying their ambition to build a team focused on the future.
