ASSE Mercato : A Gabonese international wants to change air
After a promising start under Pascal Dupraz, the Greens are in turmoil. The Stephanois are again linked to counter-performances.

The Gabonese international is followed by Eintracht Frankfurt. The current semi-finalist of the Europa League has already contacted the player. Borussia Monchengladbach has also inquired about his situation.

He does not want to relive a season in the struggle for survival. The former player of FC Lorient believes that the Bundesliga is a championship that could suit him. Denis Bouanga is back to his best level at the end of the season. His performances could attract the interest of more prestigious clubs. In case of a good offer, he would not be blocked by the management of Sainte.
