After noting the departure of Eirik Horneland and the arrival of Philippe Montanier to replace him, ASSE has decided to move up a gear on the transfer market, which closes its doors this Monday at 8 p.m.

Forced to recruit a defender following injuries to Lamba and Ferreira, Saint-Etienne announced this Monday early in the evening the arrival of Aboubaka Soumahoro. The 20-year-old central defender was loaned with an option to buy from Hamburg.

“Great goals are ahead of us”

I am very proud and honored to have the opportunity to wear the Green jersey. I can’t wait to meet my teammates, hit the training grounds and discover the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium. Big goals are ahead of us and we must work together seriously to achieve them », Declared the player trained at PSG then at PFC.

French U20 international, Aboubaka Soumahoro rarely played on the other side of the Rhine. He therefore comes to relaunch himself in Forez and above all help the Greens to return to Ligue 1 at the end of the season. They are currently 5th in L2, four points behind second place.
