It's reportedly back to square one for Auxerre after failing to land Sekou Mara from Strasbourg Alsace. The forward had been in their sights for weeks, but despite talks taking place over a potential transfer, the move never materialised and it looks like they will need to move onto fresh targets. He'll remain with his current club for the time being - unless an improved bid is made. Negotiations failed to produce a deal, and with no other reported suitors, the situation is set to remain unchanged for Sekou Mara. Auxerre's 25/26 output of 0.67 goals per game is behind league levels. The addition of Sekou Mara would give them the sharper edge they're missing in front of goal. Strasbourg Alsace have also been linked with Benjamin Chilwell, Martial Godo and Julio Enciso while Auxerre are reportedly monitoring Trevan Sanusi and Hamed Junior Traore.
