St Étienne initiate contact for Red Star attacking midfielder Saïd Arab

France Football report that Ligue 1 side St Étienne have entered into talks to sign 19-year-old attacking midfielder Saïd Arab from Red Star.

The teen has played in 13 matches this season in the French 3rd division, scoring once and providing two assists. After making a concrete initial approach in winter, Les Verts have made a new proposition for the right-footer, who came up in the PSG youth academy.

He is a free agent next month, but if Les Verts sign him they will have to pay youth indemnity fees to his current, Paris-based club.
