Mercato: It’s confirmed, AS Saint-Etienne has completed a very big blow

A great hope preferred to join AS Saint-Etienne rather than a Premier League big name. The officialization of his arrival in Forez is imminent.

The Greens won. Courted by Manchester United, where he had a successful trial, Etienne Mendy, a young 18-year-old Senegalese winger, finally decided to sign for AS Saint-Etienne, reports the People-Green.

The young Senegalese arrived in Forez a week ago in order to refine his integration before the formalization of his transfer, which is imminent, again according to the same source.

A tour through the reserves before joining the pros?

Etienne Mendy arrives from Diambars, a leading academy in Senegal, after having had a big season in the second division. He actively participated in the rise of his club in the elite of Senegalese football.

Despite his enormous potential, the young nugget should not immediately join the professional group led by Ian Cathro. He should first go through the Saint-Etienne reserve, in order to acclimatize to his new environment, before, perhaps, being promoted during the season.
