Lucas Stassin, a 21-year-old Belgian who plays for Saint-Etienne, is attracting interest from the Premier League, according to reports, after his team failed to win promotion from Ligue 2. The striker is on the list of Ipswich Town, who finished second in the Championship and are looking for reinforcements for their return to the top flight. Brentford are also still interested in Stassin. Brentford's interest dates back to last summer and they have continued to follow him, with their scouts' reports remaining positive. In previous weeks, FC Porto and Sporting Braga were also mentioned as interested parties.
Stassin, who has one cap for Belgium, scored 11 goals and provided 8 assists in 31 Ligue 2 appearances during the 2025/2026 season. His contract runs until June 2028, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €15.00m. In June 2026, reports suggested a transfer would require at least €15 million, though Saint-Étienne's asking price was reportedly between €35-€42 million in late 2025.
