Lucas Stassin (transfer rumour)


"Sunderland are continuing to monitor Lucas Stassin as they shape recruitment plans for their second Premier League season, according to talk in Europe

Reports in France suggest the Black Cats have identified the AS Saint-Étienne forward as a long-term target, with his profile understood to appeal to head coach Régis Le Bris. Stassin enjoyed a productive 2024-25 campaign, scoring 14 goals and registering eight assists, and has continued that form this season with four goals and three assists from 15 Ligue 2 appearances."


Liverpool were in for him last season I think.

Interesting. Thoughts?

Source?
 
His name reminds be of that old "monty is better than yashin" chant from way back when. An updated version might go.

Aye, aye, aye-aye
Roefs is much better than Yashin
Dan Ballard shits on Bobby Moore
Eusebio had nothing on Stassin

Therefore, I very much hope we sign the lad.

Looks good to me! But what do I know? Trust our people to know best. Even if he doesn't work out, so young and killer per 90 stats, I can't imagine us losing much on him.
 
Wonder if this link will crop up again given st etienne did not get promoted this season. Only 21 and can imagine he would go for a lower fee now. Same with Zuriko Davitashvili (linked with benfica)
 
0.7 goals + assists per 90 this season

He's up there with the best in the league in most important attacking metrics. I know that it's only at Ligue 2 but he was one of the few players to come out of their relegation the year before with any respect. 12 goals and 5 assists in 28 games for a relegated side isn't half bad.

With St. Etienne missing promotion this season maybe he can be got at a fair price.

My gut feeling is for £15m or less he's worth a punt.
