It could all happen quickly now! France's newly promoted AS St. Etienne are in pole position in the race for WAC attacker Augustine Boakye. The two clubs are currently negotiating - the transfer fee is said to be over 4 million euros and a four-year contract is being discussed.

Several clubs from the French Ligue 1 have been interested in WAC striker Augustine Boake for some time now. Now, however, it looks as if AS St. Etienne, who have been promoted to the first division, have won the race. While an insider from the African player market has already reported that Boakye will undergo a medical check with St. Etienne on Wednesday, the 23-year-old is still waiting for an agreement to be reached between Wolfsberg and the traditional French club. "Augustine will only travel there once everything is finalized. It's a four-year contract," revealed his manager Marcel Veerman.

Skips test against Leoben
Naturally, Boakye will skip Wednesday's test at home in the Lavanttal Arena against Regionalliga relegated Leoben to avoid taking any risks. In the next few days, there could then be the next transfer worth millions to the French league after Mohamed Bamba (who moved to Lorient for a rumored €5 million) - a transfer fee of over €4 million is now also being discussed for Boakye.
