AJ Auxerre forward Lassine Sinayoko has emerged as one of the most sought-after attackers ahead of the summer transfer window after a decisive end to the season in Ligue 1.

The 26-year-old Mali international played a crucial role in securing top-flight survival for Auxerre, scoring vital goals during the run-in, including a match-winner against OGC Nice and a standout brace on the final day against Lille OSC.

Premier League Clubs Monitoring Situation Closely

According to reports, Sinayoko’s performances have not gone unnoticed, with Premier League clubs now showing serious interest in the forward.

L’Équipe reports that the striker, valued between €10–12 million, is expected to be one of the names to watch in the upcoming transfer window, with Get French Football News confirming that at least one English club has already carried out detailed enquiries ahead of a possible summer move.

Auxerre Also Facing Midfield Interest

AJ Auxerre could also face further squad disruption, with midfielder Kévin Danois reportedly attracting interest from England as well.

The France U21 international is expected to command a fee in the region of €20 million, as Premier League sides continue to monitor emerging talent from Ligue 1.
