After a worrying first part of the season, AS Saint-Etienne hopes to strengthen itself during the winter transfer window. Several recruits could be added to the squad of new coach Eirik Horneland.
The AS Saint-Etienne transfer window could soon accelerate. Obviously worried after the insufficient first part of the season, the Saint-Etienne management will not be satisfied with a change of coach. The squad of new coach Eirik Horneland, less armed than some competitors, needs reinforcements to do well in the race to remain in Ligue 1. It would not be surprising if the owner Kilmer Sports Ventures put his hand in his pocket. The spending could start with the return of Irvin Cardona.
As indicated by insider Mohamed Toubache-Ter, the striker loaned by Augsburg to Espanyol Barcelona could return to the Greens for this second part of the season. He who had largely contributed to the rise to the elite last season. This is obviously not the only avenue studied. According to the regional daily Le Progrès, still in the offensive sector, the promoted player is interested in the Swede Zeidane Inoussa (22 years old). This BK Häcken winger, who wore the Stade Malherbe Caen jersey, was the subject of discussions between the different parties a few weeks ago. But the file does not seem to have advanced.
It’s complicated for Nzingoula
The same goes for young Rabby Nzingoula. Loaned by Strasbourg to Montpellier last summer, the 19-year-old midfielder appeals to the Stéphanois and other Ligue 1 residents. But his contractual situation makes him a difficult target to reach this winter. To succeed in recruiting French talent, it will be necessary to come to an agreement with Racing and the MHSC. This does not seem to dampen AS Saint-Etienne, which may have abandoned the idea of recruiting Baptiste Santamaria. Not selected by Stade Rennais, the midfielder who passed through Angers favors a departure abroad.
