AS Saint-Etienne are keen on recruiting a striker before the end of transfer window – Ligue 1 news
Ligue 1 side AS Saint-Etienne are looking to add another striker to Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. Several names have been drawn including Ajax Amsterdam striker Mounir El Hamdaoui and Walter Henrique, who is currently on the books of Portuguese
giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186.
Following the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Calcio-Catania-c38719, Les Verts have made the recruitment of an extra attacker their top priority before the end of the transfer window.
According to the Rhone publication, Le Progres, ASSE have a great chance of signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436.
The Recife-born has appeared in only 23 games since his arrival at the Iberian club. Porto are expected not to oppose the departure of the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan striker, who has scored 9 goals for Porto.
Another striker under the radar of Saint-Etienne is Ajax’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mounir-El-Hamdaoui-c26905. The 27-year-old Moroccan international promises much experience in the forward line of the Massif Central-based club. The highly-rated striker was awarded Dutch Footballer of
the Year in the 2008/09 season and he was also the top scorer in the same season.
In the 2010/11 campaign, the former Tottenham Hotspur man also scored 13 goals in 26 games to help Ajax Amsterdam win the Eredivisie championship. Rotterdam-born Moroccan national is reportedly linked with Lille, La Liga side Zaragoza, English Premier League
side Fulham FC and Serie A side Udinese.
Although Mounir El Hamdaoui and Walter Henrique are targeted by ASSE, they are not the only players under the radar of the Massif Central-based club. Other players include Anthony Modeste and Tulio De Melo of Girondins de Bordeaux and Lille Metropole respectively.
ASSE stand at third spot with two wins and a draw from three matches in the 2011/2012 Ligue 1 Championelle and have scored 3 goals in three games including the goalless draw against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 last week. The management is looking to add at least
one striker before the end of the transfer window.
