Aouchiche arrives on a free transfer but due to his age, Paris Saint-Germain will receive a nominal fee.<\/p>\n<p>He has signed a three-year deal at Les Verts with the option of a further year. Aouchiche\u2019s arrival continues Claude Puel\u2019s recruitment drive after a disappointing campaign last time out.<\/p>\n<p>Aouchiche arrives as Saint Etienne\u2019s fourth summer signing after the captures of Jean-Philippe Krasso, Timothee Kolodziejczak and Yvan Neyrou. The talent will certainly hope to make an impact. He has plenty of pace and quality on the ball which Saint Etienne severely lacked last season.<\/p>\n<p>Aouchiche\u2019s arrival is seen as a real coup for Saint Etienne, who beat several European sides for his signature. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/bundesliga\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Borussia Dortmund<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/la-liga\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barcelona<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/arsenal\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arsenal<\/a> were just three of the sides chasing the teenager\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n<p>Time will tell if Aouchiche will be a success but it\u2019s a shrewd piece of business from Les Verts. He has shown in glimpses his qualities but with severe competition at PSG, his game time was always going to be limited.<\/p>\n<h3>Aouchiche \u2013 &#8216;I Will Give My All&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getfootballnewsfrance.com\/2020\/official-st-etienne-sign-adil-aouchiche\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Speaking about his move<\/a> to Saint Etienne, Aouchiche said: \u201cIt is with immense pride that I sign with St \u00c9tienne.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am joining a great club in Ligue 1, which is carried by the fervour around it. The supporters are magnificent. The city breathes football. I made the right choice. This passion provides a lot of strength.
