After two and a half years in the Forez, Lamine Fomba is about to leave the club, after being actively courted by foreign teams in recent weeks. The midfielder, who lacked regular opportunities in Ligue 1, took advantage of the summer mercato to find a new playground. The CF Servette formalized its arrival, ending a period when the player had established himself as a key element of the St.

Arriving at Saint-Étienne in January 2023, Lamine Fomba had quickly demonstrated his qualities in Laurent Battles’ game system. Its strength in the middle of the field, combined with an excellent vision of the game, made it a centrepiece of the team. He actively contributed to the club’s recovery in the second part of the season. However, the arrival of new players like Florian Tardieu and Olivier Dall’Oglio gradually reduced his playing time, relegating him to the bench.

The situation has not improved with the promotion of ASSE in Ligue 1. Under the new coach, Eirik Horneland, Lamine Fomba played only four Ligue 1 matches. Despite good performance in the prep games, a start had become inevitable. The FC Servette finally formalized the arrival of Lamine Fomba, marking the end of his Stéphanois adventure.
