St Étienne to sign Assane Dioussé from Empoli for €5m

St Étienne have reached an agreement with Serie A side Empoli worth €5m over the possible signing of 19-year-old Senegalese midfielder Assane Dioussé, according to L’Équipe.

The left-footed midfielder has already clocked up 48 Serie A matches and was St Étienne’s back-up target for Jordan Veretout, who made a last-minute move to Fiorentina when it seemed he was all set to join Oscar Garcia’s side.
