After having passed his medical examination on Wednesday, Lenny Pintor is officially committed to AS Saint-Étienne, this Thursday, at the end of the day. The 21-year-old left winger, released by OL who keeps 30% on a future resale in return, has signed a two-season contract with the Greens, plus an option in the event of a return to Ligue 1.
“I am very happy to join ASSE. I was very well received by the leaders and my new teammates. I arrive with a revengeful state of mind after a complicated year. But I now feel very good and I have only one desire: to make my debut in green. »
It could be for Saturday. Indeed, Laurent Batlles does not refrain from summoning his sixth recruit after having judged his state of form.
Transferred from Brest to Lyon against 5M€ in 2018, Lenny Pintor will find in Forez a coach he rubbed shoulders with in Troyes, where he had been loaned two years ago.
“He needs playing time, to get tougher. He was paid dearly at a certain time and today he needs to assume a little. He is a player who is still learning. This allows us to have someone young, who wants to wear the jersey. He called me because he wanted to come here, ”rejoices the coach of the Greens.
