AS Saint-Étienne is on the verge of completing the arrival of Jakob Breum, a 22-year-old Danish international prospect winger playing for Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie. An agreement has reportedly been reached between the two clubs, and the player is expected to undergo his medical with the Greens in the coming days.

Breum enjoyed a solid season in the Netherlands, contributing 6 goals and 7 assists in the league. According to Voetbal International and Foot Mercato, both confirming the imminent signing, the player will commit for four seasons, with an optional fifth year. The transfer fee has not yet been disclosed.

This recruitment comes as Saint-Étienne prepares for a new campaign in Ligue 2, after missing promotion by losing to Nice in the Ligue 1-Ligue 2 playoff. The Saint-Étienne club is looking to strengthen its squad to attempt a return to the top flight next season, and the arrival of a 22-year-old winger with a proven attacking profile in the Eredivisie fits this reconstruction strategy.
