AS Saint-Etienne allowed Faouzi Ghoulam to join Naples because they have already secured a replacement in Benoit Trémoulinas. Seeking more playing time, the left-back is eager for a change and wishes to return to competition during the winter transfer window. After reaching out to Bordeaux and Monaco without success, Trémoulinas has turned his attention to AS Saint-Etienne. According to L’Equipe, the former Bordeaux player is likely to join Forez, potentially on loan. Having departed Bordeaux for Dynamo Kiev six months ago, Trémoulinas will make his return to Ligue 1. The 25-year-old French international remains under contract with the Ukrainian club until June 2017.
