Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joined the Blues in the summer, as did Wesley Fofana. The first, from FC Barcelona, and the second, from Leicester, were both bought for more that 90 million euros. The new teammates, who are both 21 and 33 respectively, share a common past: Saint Etienne. If they have never shared the same ground under the colors of the Greens, the two former Stéphanois share a photo which they reproduced at the Blues.
“I can still remember. I went to the Saint-Étienne training ground to see the professional players. I was waiting in practice to take a photograph with you. I always played forward when I was young. Drogba, you were a good friend of mine. “Remembered Wesley Fofana in front of the cameras of his club.

After that, I changed and when I arrived in Saint-Étienne, I was happy because Christophe Galtier at that time gave me confidence and that changed everything in my career and that’s where I started scoring goals. »
