AJ Auxerre's new coach Will Still has confirmed that the team might sign one or two new players, including a striker and a defender, if it is feasible and makes sense. This comes as the team struggles to find defensive solidity, having conceded eight goals in their first two matches in Ligue 1. According to L'Équipe Football, Still has stated that the team will not be held back by their limited budget, which is reportedly around 50 million euros.
Still has also spoken about the possibility of departures from the team, stating that it is possible that one or two players may leave. However, he has also confirmed that the team's captain, Kévin Danois, is not likely to leave the team, despite being wanted by Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest. Danois would require an astronomical offer, reportedly over 35 million euros, to convince him to leave the team.
The team's struggles have been well-documented, with their 1-3 defeat at home to Angers on Saturday being their second consecutive loss in Ligue 1. Still has acknowledged that the team's defensive solidity is a major concern, and has stated that they will need to work hard to find a solution to this problem. The team's next match is against Lyon on Friday.
