a star striker will make his return to Forez this winter

AS Saint-Étienne is booming on the transfer market. According to information from Mohamed Toubache-Ter, Irvin Cardona could soon make his return to Forez. Loaned last season to the Greens, the striker currently plays for Espanyol Barcelona. Due to a lack of agreement last summer, he did not extend his Saint-Etienne adventure, but coach Eirik Horneland would have been seduced by his profile after watching several videos. This comeback would be a great opportunity to strengthen the Saint-Etienne attack.

Zeidane Inoussa, the Scandinavian track

At the same time, ASSE is exploring other offensive options. Eirik Horneland, a fine connoisseur of the Scandinavian market, would have validated the trail leading to Zeidane Inoussa. The 22-year-old Swedish winger, who plays for BK Häcken, is in advanced discussions with the Saint-Etienne leaders. His youth and explosiveness could bring depth to the Greens’ offensive sector.

Midfielder also targeted

To densify its midfield, Saint-Étienne is interested in Rabby Nzingoula, currently on loan from Strasbourg to Montpellier. His combativeness pleases the Saint-Etienne staff. The name of Baptiste Santamaria (Rennes) was also mentioned, but this file seems difficult to materialize due to its market value.

An ambitious transfer window to aim higher

With these active tracks, ASSE displays its ambitions for the second part of the season. The return of Irvin Cardona and the potential arrivals of Zeidane Inoussa or Rabby Nzingoula could breathe new impetus into Eirik Horneland’s team, in search of results.
