It was expected, it became official. This Wednesday, AS Saint-Etienne confirmed the arrival of Etienne Mendy, a young 18-year-old Senegalese striker who arrives in Forez from Diambars, a leading academy in Senegal.
“It is a great pride to join ASSE, a real honor for me. I am a lively attacker, I come here with the desire to be decisive and to work hard to one day join the professional squad of this great club”declared Etienne Mendy on the club website.
“It’s an offensive profile with great potential”
“Étienne is a player that we have followed for a long time, for his part declared sports director Loïc Perrin. It is an offensive profile with great potential, with qualities of speed and percussion. He will join the reserve team at the start to take this first step before he is ready to see higher. »
Also courted by Manchester United, Etienne Mendy therefore chose Saint-Etienne to launch his professional career. But despite his strong potential, the Lion of Teranga will first join the Greens’ reserve team, before perhaps catching the eye of Ian Cathro.
