Rumour report

Rumours suggest Saint-Etienne is keen on Niels Nkounkou, yet with a probability of only 53%, the move remains uncertain. Here is why.

  • The players Saint-Etienne normally buys have a much lower value compared to the current ETV value that Niels Nkounkou currently has.
  • Saint-Etienne has often bought players who are approximately the same age as the current age of Niels Nkounkou (25).
