The AS Saint-Étienne is experiencing an important movement of young talents. Ayman Aiki, a right winger trained at the club, joined the SC Bastia, a decision that marks the end of a significant chapter in his career. After shining in the ASSE youth teams and signing his first professional contract in 2022, Aiki was loaned to Bastia. His departure is seen as a bet on the future for the bascia club, which was seduced by its offensive potential and its ability to progress. For Saint-Étienne, this divestment is part of a policy of renewing the workforce and valuing its young players.
At the same time, the arrival of Strahinja Stojkovic, an 18-year-old Serb right-wing youth, arouses a lot of enthusiasm in Saint Stephen. Recruited until 2029, Stojkovic is described as a powerful and promising player, who quickly impressed with his intensity and combativity. Its integration into the team will be gradual, but its physical strength and potential point to a promising future in League 1. This recruit demonstrates the club’s willingness to strengthen its workforce with young international talent.
Finally, Luan Gadegbeku and Nadir El Jamali, two young players trained at ASSE, made their first appearance in Ligue 2 in a match against Laval. Signing their first professional contract, they represent the club’s commitment to the development of its young talents. Gadegbeku, a dynamic environment, and El Jamali, more offensive, showed good promises and benefited from the opportunity to test themselves at the professional level. Their progress will be decisive for the future of ASSE, and their integration into the first team is an encouraging sign for supporters.
