Adil Aouchiche, who continues to be an eternal hope, signed last September in England, with Sunderland. A former Stéphanois could join him there…
Starting 3 times out of 19 possible, he scored 1 goal and delivered 1 assist. Taking part in only 15 out of 19 possible matches, Adil Aouchiche has played 437 minutes with Sunderland since his arrival in England. With 24 minutes of play per match since the start of the season, he remains at his standards and still does not pass the level that Claude Puel thought he was capable of reaching. At 21, the precocious midfielder is struggling to make the transition to the professional world. Far from the expectations placed on him at the end of his brilliant training…
His career in the Championship could, however, cross that of a former Stéphanois. Indeed, Yann M’Vila, looking for a club after being released by Olympiakos, is actively looking for a club in order to continue his rich career. At 33, last May he made all-out appeals, like his interview on Goal let it appear:
“I have some experience and I can help a lot of clubs. First in the league, but also in the European Cup. This is a criterion that I would like to find in my next challenge. I am free and I I think it could open more doors for me. That’s how lucky I am. I’m approached by some Gulf clubs, I don’t have a particular preference. I said I wanted a challenge, but in these countries, there are also some, we see it with Cristiano Ronaldo or other players like Talisca or Vincent Aboubakar.”
No 2nd division, except for one club!
“I am open and listen to each proposal. We have to look in depth at those who do the work in the shadows. I know that I do this work and that is why the coaches make me play. That’s also why I know I’m important. When I left Sunderland, they went down. When I left Saint-Etienne, they went down. When I left Rubin Kazan, they went down . I don’t see it as a coincidence.”
Yann M’Vila does not wish to join a secondary championship… However, he could be convinced by the Championship as he explained recently in Le Progrès: “There is only one club for which I would have agreed to return to the lower division, and that is Sunderland (English club where he did a one-year freelance stint during the 2015-16 season while he was belonged to Rubin Kazan), to help them return to the Premier League. I had an extraordinary year there.”
As Foot Mercato explains, “the former Rennais could bounce back across the Channel”. It would be “the priority of Sunderland, currently 7th in the Championship standings. The Black Cats were already interested in the Frenchman’s profile last summer and discussions resumed this winter.”
