There are just ten days left for the Saint-Etienne leaders to try and improve Olivier Dell’Oglio’s squad. With this in mind, a former member of the House is in the Greens’ small papers for a possible arrival.

AS Saint-Etienne have dropped back to the second half of the Ligue 2 rankings and much to the chagrin of their supporters who are seeing their rise to Ligue 1 slip further and further away. On the eve of the match against Pau, Stephanois is 12 points behind AJ Auxerre, the leader of the standings but only two small units behind its next opponent, currently 5th in Ligue 2. So all hopes are still not flying in Forez but one is flawless. Runs are essential during this second half of the season. At the same time, consolidation is widely called for to boost growth prospects at the end of the 2023-2024 fiscal year. A player who suddenly passed through the greens is once again of interest to ASSE.
Towards the return of Pep Abu Cisse to the Greens?
Apart from the arrivals of Irwin Cardona and Nathanael Mbuku, other arrivals are desired by the Saint-Etienne leaders. it is Pope Abou Cisse, for whom the Greens have shown particular interest in recent days. The one who visited Forez for half of the season during 2021 surprised everyone, especially when he brought a certain solidity to the ranks of Claude Puel. Unfortunately, Olympiacos’ 13 million euro purchase option included in his loan dampened Saint-Etienne’s enthusiasm. Today, the situation may well change, Roland Garros admires the player in particular and will try to secure his services by the end of the winter transfer window. Currently playing for Adana Demirspor in Turkey, Pape Abou Cisse is in dire need of playing time and could be keen to set foot on the French lawn again.
A.S. According to Saint-Etienne Worm peoplet, again reported to strengthen his central hinge on the Senegalese defender’s trial. The latter would not appear hostile to a return to France and discussions are said to have intensified in recent days. The only problem is that the Greens do not have the necessary financial background to buy the player. So a new loan could quickly be on the agenda…
