Chelsea, AC Milan target Gourna-Douath delighted penning new St Etienne deal

Saint-Etienne midfielder Lucas Gourna-Douath insists he's happy where he is.

Gourna-Douath, who has been likened to Paul Pogba, has been linked with Chelsea and AC Milan.

But he has penned new terms with ASSE to 2025 and says: "ASSE is the best place so that I can flourish.

"I am still in training and I want to continue this process in the club where I grew up. Extending here is something very big! My entourage, especially my mother, really wanted me to extend my contract at ASSE.

"I am grateful to everyone who contributed to my extension. From now on, I want to help the team to go as far as possible."
