Auxerre face competition for Ajax’s Ar’jany Martha | OneFootball

According to Foot Mercato, AJ Auxerre have begun discussions with Ajax’s Ar’jany Martha (20). After a single season of professional football, Martha has decided to leave the Dutch giants and has refused to sign a contract extension that will keep him beyond the end of June.

The recently promoted French side believe that the left-back represents a great deal as a promising option to help them in their task of losing their yo-yo club label. However, they will face stiff competition from Monza and Villarreal who are also considering a move for the left-back with 12 professional appearances under his belt.
