Seydou Koné, the Ivorian striker, who was initially reported to be heading to China to join the Chinese D2 club Chengdu Blades after the end of his contract with Nîmes Olympique, might have a change of plans. Instead of pursuing a career in China, Koné is currently on trial with AJ Auxerre in France.
The 30-year-old striker, now a free agent, has landed a trial opportunity with AJ Auxerre, as reported by L’Yonne Républicaine and relayed by foot-national.com. Koné will have the chance to showcase his skills and potentially secure a place with the Burgundian club.
Having previously played for Nîmes Olympique and delivering notable performances, including 6 goals in the 2012-2013 season and 21 in the previous season in National, Koné is looking to continue his football journey. Before his time with Nîmes, he had stints with clubs in Romania, Portugal, and Pau.
The trial with AJ Auxerre provides Koné with an opportunity to prove himself and potentially earn a spot in the French club’s squad for the upcoming season.
