Saint-Etienne looking to sign former Liverpool starlet Florent Sinama-Pongolle – Ligue 1 news
Reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 suggest that Ligue 1 outfit, Saint-Etienne are looking to sign Florent Sinama-Pongolle from Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon.
Argentine, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/San-Lorenzo-c40436 man at the club. 21-year-old striker Emmanuel Riviere is currently under the radar
of Toulouse and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Lorient-c39153. Furthermore Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s loan spell at Saint-Etienne has come to an end which means that the youngster has returned to his parent club.
The expected departures of the aforementioned striker would leave the club with only one striker; http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Boubacar-Sanogo-c7921. In order to add more power to their attack ahead of the start of the 2011/2012 French Ligue 1 season, Les Verts are in the market for a new
striker. Reports now suggest that the French club has now turned its attention to the Frenchman who spent the 2010/2011 season on loan at Spanish side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-Zaragoza-c40344.
The 26-year-old endured a difficult time during his season-long spell at La Romareda and scored just four goals in 24 games. However, Saint-Etienne seem willing to offer the striker a chance to get his career back on track. After a lacklustre season with
the Spanish side, the Frenchman is also looking to move on to another club where he is able to get more playing time. Saint-Etienne offer Sinama-Pongolle just the chance he needs as the club would definitely be short of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Attackers-c38555 in the coming days of the
summer transfer window.
Furthermore, reports suggest that Sinama-Pongolle’s parent club, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 Lisbon’s direction is not looking to keep hold of the player for whom they paid 6.5 million Euros in 2010. A move to Saint-Etienne could prove to be just the spark that could reignite
the career of a player who promised so much when was a young player at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809. The youngster played just five games for Sporting Lisbon and never really impressed that much. However, things might turn out to be different for the former Atletico Madrid man
if a move to Stade Geoffroy-Guichard materialises.
