Sohaib Naïr set for first taste of Geoffroy-Guichard after assured ASSE debut | OneFootball

Sohaib Naïr, the former Guingamp defender, delivered a composed debut at Sochaux, his relish for duels helping to secure Saint-Étienne’s defence alongside Julien Le Cardinal.

He is set for his first outing at Geoffroy-Guichard on Friday against Clermont at 20:45, and the Cauldron will be without its two kops. According to Le Progres, his early understanding with Le Cardinal was as reassuring as his individual display.

As the club’s first signing of the summer, Naïr will savour the moment in front of a reduced home crowd.

He is also waiting to sample the stadium at full voice with its kops when Montpellier visit on five September.

Last season, Guingamp won 2-3 in the Loire. Friday’s meeting with Clermont opens his home chapter.
