Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma has hailed the fans of St Etienne.
The ASSE support announced themselves to the world this season during their Europa League tie with Manchester United.
Zouma left ASSE for Chelsea and says the fans are as passionate as he's found in the Premier League.
"Support level, France or England? Frankly, Sainté is not bad! Sainté is incredible for the supporters they have. England is hot too, there are many stadiums where it's hot, but it's true that Sainté is special.
"I would say it's very special because I think they only live football there, they are really behind the back of their club. In England it's the same but when you're in Geoffroy-Guichard it really makes noise, you must make yourself heard."
