Looking for new offensive elements to fill glaring gaps in this sector, AS Saint-Etienne is targeting the young Swede Zeidane Inoussa.
The first part of the AS Saint-Etienne season didn't make anyone dream. For its return to the elite, the Forézien club surely had other ambitions than those of maintaining its position. Despite several million euros invested in the 2024 summer transfer window, the Greens failed to do better than flirt with the red zone throughout the first leg. To try to maintain its place in the elite of French football, the Stéphanois first thought of replacing Olivier Dall'Oglio with Eirik Horneland. Now halfway through the winter transfer period, ASSE management is working to bring new recruits to the squad. One of them could be called Zeidane Inoussa.
ASSE wants to strengthen its attack
According to information from Foot Mercato, AS Saint-Etienne is targeting Zeidane Inoussa. The young 22-year-old Swedish left winger, who currently plays for BK Häcken, already knows France since he played for SM Caen between 2019 and 2023 – with two loans in Spain. This season, he has already scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists in 6 matches. Enough to logically attract desire in this winter transfer window. For the Greens, the importance of recruiting a player in the offensive sector is great. Eirik Horneland's men have not shown great efficiency since the start of the season. And that's an understatement: Sainté is still the second worst attack in the championship since the start of the 2024-2025 financial year.
As for Zeidane Inoussa, the competition will be tough on the file. According to Transfermarkt data, his market value is estimated at 3 million euros and he is under contract until December 31, 2027. FM specifies that other clubs are following him closely, such as Celtic, for example.
