Auxerre: a big unexpected transfer!

This is a file that lovers of theAJ Auxerre had not seen it coming, in the middle of a rather quiet summer for the Burgundy club. Gauthier Hein should leave AJA. According to information from L’Équipe, the attacking midfielder should join FC Metz in the coming hours.

Already courted by the Lorraine club a year ago, Gauthier Hein had chosen to stay in Burgundy, where he has established himself over the years as one of the darlings of the Abbe-Deschamps public.

A surprise transfer

If Gauthier Hein is also very linked to Metz for having been trained within the Lorraine club, the left-hander has often proclaimed his loyalty to AJA. Best passer and second best scorer of the club last season, he had been one of the great architects of Auxerre’s rise to Ligue 1.

Christophe Pélissier therefore loses a major element of his squad, elected best player in Ligue 2 by his peers during the last UNFP Trophies ceremony.
