Saint-Etienne have already seen Romain Hamouma suffer a serious injury in his side’s 1-1 draw against Strasbourg over the weekend. He is expected to spend time on the sidelines, while another attacker, Robert Beric, is expected to leave the club, according to L’Equipe.
Jean-Louis Gasset’s side have identified several profiles to strengthen their attack for the new season.
One of the players in the list is Tottenham Hotspur winger Georges-Kevin N’Koudou, who still has three years left on his contract at the north London club.
Saint-Etienne are looking to bring in an attacker on a loan deal with a view to buy and N’Koudou is one of the targets. It should be seen if the French club can reach a deal with Tottenham, should they decide to sign N’Koudou.
A return to France would be a step back for the former Marseille man, who has struggled to find a regular place in Mauricio Pochettino’s plans at Tottenham.
