Author of an impressive start to the season under the leadership of Eirik Horneland, Augustine Boakye has established himself as one of the key players for AS Saint-Étienne. The Ghanaian attacking midfielder is the most decisive of the Greens in Ligue 2, with 2 goals and 7 assists since the start of the season.
His influence on the game and his ability to make a difference already make him an essential part of the Saint-Etienne squad. Enough to naturally attract the attention of observers and European clubs. His notable performances in Ligue 2 reinforce his status as a coveted player.
Saint-Étienne categorical
According to Africa FootHamburg, currently 13th in the Bundesliga, is particularly interested in Boakye and could attempt to recruit from the winter transfer window. A first offer of 7 million euros was sent to ASSE, but it was refused by management. The Saint-Etienne leaders want to protect their player and have set a floor price of 10 million euros to open real discussions.
The direction of Saint-Étienne is clear: Boakye must stay until the end of the season to help the team return to Ligue 1. It remains to be seen whether Hamburg will return with an offer closer to the club’s expectations or whether they will decide to put the matter on hold for the moment. Caution remains in order, but the market is likely to become active next summer.
