An English club is attacking Chinayogo!

Mali international striker Lassin Sinaiko (24 years old, AJ Auxerre) is coming off a good season with the Burgundian club, the French Ligue 2 champions, so they were promoted to Ligue 1. He is interested across the channel.

At the forefront of French football’s elite, the Bamako native scored 8 goals and provided 4 assists in 34 appearances. The center forward is also capable of playing as a winger, so AJA was one of the designers to rise to the elite. His outstanding performance, as well as his best CAN (3 goals), did not go unnoticed in England.

As reported by journalist Sameer Jabali, Bristol City Club (Championship, English D2) sent an offer of 2 to 3 million euros a year from the end of his contract with Auxerre. According to TeamThe proposal also included a percentage of resale, but was rejected by the AJA.

Right time to leave the nest?

Since arriving at the Auxerre training center in 2017, Lassine Sinayoko has completed all the steps to join the pro team after two years. He hasn’t let it go since. After knowing League 1 In 2022-2023 (33 matches, 1 goal), the Mali international returned to the lower ranks. Although the prospect of playing at the next level is enticing after all the effort put into this tough Ligue 2 championship, starting with a title in L2 would allow him to end his Axor chapter on a positive note.

The prospect of playing in English D2 may seem less attractive at first glance, but the excitement in the championship is that Chinayoko will play in full stadiums and will certainly have a new enriching experience. At 24, it might be a good time to leave the nest. Whether Bristol will be back in charge remains to be seen.
