It's all confirmed: Naouirou Ahamada has joined Auxerre from Crystal Palace. The midfielder has penned terms with his new club and completed all registration steps. This deal brings to an end a high-profile pursuit, with Auxerre now adding another piece to their evolving squad structure. With no other clubs strongly linked, Auxerre were able to move quickly and secure the deal without distraction. In season 25/26, Auxerre are conceding 1.59 goals per game (27 in 17 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. Naouirou Ahamada would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. Crystal Palace continue to be linked with Kevin Danois, Joao Gomes and Ilan Kebbal while Auxerre are also rumoured to be tracking Gaetan Perrin.
