Devenu persona non grata dans le Forez, Lucas Stassin pourrait quitter les rangs de l’ASSE lors du prochain mercato d’été. Conscients de cette situation, Ivan Gazidis et les décideurs stéphanois s’activent déjà en coulisses pour mettre la main sur un nouveau numéro 9. Mercato ASSE : le successeur de Stassin déniché en Belgique ? Désireux de quitter l’ASSE l’été dernier, Lucas Stassin, sifflé par le public de Geoffroy-Guichard à son remplacement contre Clermont (1-0) ce weekend, devrait terminer la saison chez les Verts. Défendu par Eirik Horneland, l’international espoir belge aurait donc toujours la tête à Saint-Étienne. Mais selon Transfert Radar, cela n’empêcherait pas Kilmer Sports et Ivan Gazidis de penser à sa succession.

Les dirigeants stéphanois seraient prêts à lui accorder un bon de sortie si la montée en Ligue 1 n’est pas obtenue. Une vente qui permettrait de renflouer les caisses, tout en finançant une nouvelle reconstruction sportive. Et dans cette optique, les dirigeants stéphanois viseraient Steve Ngoura. « Pour l’après-Stassin, et en cas de montée en Ligue 1, Saint Étienne pense à Steve Ngoura, attaquant évoluant au Cercle Bruges. La cellule a déjà observé l’attaquant à plusieurs reprises. Le jeune attaquant français est en pleine évolution », rapporte le média sportif.

En cas de vente de Lucas Stassin, Ngoura ferait partie des priorités estivales pour relancer l’attaque des Verts et incarner, à son tour, un nouveau projet sportif ambitieux à Saint-Étienne.

Unai Emery did not hold back. In his programme notes – at least the words were attributed to him – the Aston Villa manager turned to caps lock. “THIS MATCH IS CRUCIAL,” he said, spying an opportunity. After Arsenal and Manchester City dropped points, a golden chance to return second and cut the leaders’ advantage to four points. Everton, however, had other ideas and approaching the hour Thierno Barry pounced on a Emiliano Martínez fumble after a Pau Torres lapse to condemn Villa to a punishing defeat. They are almost unheard of around here, this only a third home league defeat since the start of last season.For David Moyes, who bounced back from the setback of Jake O’Brien’s first-half header being disallowed because an offside Harrison Armstrong was deemed to be interfering with play, this was a major triumph. For Villa, this threatened to be a frustrating afternoon from the moment Merlin Röhl clinked a post inside 11 seconds and things went from bad to worse when John McGinn was forced off after 18 minutes. McGinn’s departure seemed to disrupt Villa, already missing another trusty pillar in Boubacar Kamara, who Emery conceded could be sidelined long term with a knee injury. The former Everton midfielder Amadou Onana was absent owing to a hamstring injury. Continue reading...

Prada says its tailoring opposes US ‘corporate masculine power’, while D&G’s all-white cast causes controversy in MilanMiuccia Prada and Raf Simons, the two designers behind Prada, are well aware that fashion is about more than clothes. However, backstage after their menswear show in Milan on Sunday, the duo said the volatile present moment was a difficult one to translate to a collection. “You talk about the world now,” said Prada “or you talk about fashion … The two things together, in this moment, are difficult.”The collection was, therefore, “uncomfortable”. Rather than meaning the clothes were not pleasant to wear – this is luxury fashion, after all – there were disparate elements put together in the same outfit: the top of a red sou’wester over a trenchcoat, for example, or a yellow scoop-neck jumper with cuffs of a shirt falling out the sleeve. (There were also some useful unexpected styling tips, such as wallets stuffed in a back pocket, or brightly coloured shoe laces). Continue reading...
