Since winning promotion to Ligue 1 last campaign, Evian Thonon-Gaillard have made quite a few gambles in the transfer windows. The team from a town near the Swiss border are now once again looking to make a peculiar signing from Great Britain
Currently in a good position in the middle of the Ligue 1 standings, Evian TG have somehow perfectly integrated themselves amongst the elite of French football. Furthermore, with the likes of Ajaccio and Dijon struggling to stay away from the relegation
zone, Evian have done a pretty good http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
The recruitment policy of the club has been hard to predict to say the least. From foreign players to veterans, Evian have recruited many players.
While some signings were major disappointments likes http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sidney-Govou-c33474, others catered the needs of the club like Saber Khelifa. However, Evian have not stopped their recruitment in January either.
Evian have already signed former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thomas-Kahlenberg-c34966.
Reports now claim that Evian are considering making a move for English midfielder Andrew Driver. The 24-year-old winger is currently under contract at Scottish Premier League side Heart of Midlothian where he has been throughout his footballing career.
Driver was once considered as one of the hottest prospects in English football. However, the youngster never really managed to live up to his true potential. In 2009, a serious knee injury turned out to be one of the biggest reasons behind the youngster’s
apparent fall. With his progress and growth as a player hindered, Driver has seen the wrong side of a footballer’s life.
However, the Englishman might be offered some respite and hope in the coming days with news linking him with a move to Ligue 1 side Evian TG.

The former England Under-21 player has not been paid for the past two months given Heart of Midlothian’s financial state and could seriously consider making a move away from the club this January.
For their part, the Scottish side have allowed the youngster to play on loan for the remainder of the campaign at any club.
A move to the Ligue 1 would certainly be a boon for the youngster and would make him only the second English player in the French Ligue 1 this season.
