Grenoble have moved to sign up Saint-Etienne offensive midfielder Daisuke Matsui, who started only 11 games for les Verts last season, managing only one goal, as he produced a series of mediocre performances.
Saint-Etienne’s season fell rather flat as they plummeted to the foot of Ligue 1 after a pre-season of promise in the transfer market. Matsui was one of a number of high profile acquisitions who failed to shine at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in the last campaign and, as a result, his stay with les Verts has ended.
Matsui has signed a three year contract with GF38, who established themselves comfortably as a Ligue 1 club last season, after winning promotion from the second flight only 12 months ago. Mecha Bazdarevic’s side were built on a foundation of defensive solidarity and they will hope that Matsui, who was the player with the most assists in the league during season 2005-06, can add some flair to an offence that was rather sterile last season.
Grenoble, whose president is Kazutoshi Watanabe, a Japanese national, have already moved to capture goalkeeper Jody Viviani from les Verts and failed in an attempt to lure full-back David Sauget from the Loire club to the south east of the country.
Meanwhile, L’Equipe reports that Saint-Etienne are attempting to procure the signature of Caen goalkeeper Vincent Plante.
