Auxerre, who are fighting against relegation in Ligue 1 these days, are doing whatever they can on the transfer market to get out of their situation, and that includes targeting a AFC Bournemouth player.
They’ve already managed to bring in Han-Noah Massengo from Bristol City on loan, and are trying to do the same with Siriki Dembélé, currently with the Cherries in the Premier League.
The 26-year-old has made six appearances for Bournemouth in the league this season, but with the arriving of more attacking reinforcements, his time will get even more limited, which is why a temporary deal elsewhere would make sense.
Those in charge of transfers at the Ligue 1 club are ‘working’ on bringing him, and the ‘two clubs are negotiating a loan’ for the Ivory Coast born forward.
He arrived from Peterborough a year ago in a €2.6m transfer, but has yet to start a game for Bournemouth this season, with each of his nine appearances being from the bench.
