Ghana defender Gideon Mensah joining French Ligue 1 side AJ Auxerre

Ghana international, Gideon Mensah is set to complete a move to French Ligue 1 side, AJ Auxerre.

This is according to information gathered from sources in France.

The Red Bull Salzburg left-back has struggled to secure a place in the first team of the club in the Austrian Bundesliga.

In the last four seasons, he has constantly been sent out on loan. Last season, he played for Bordeaux in the French Ligue 1.

While his future at Red Bull Salzburg is uncertain, Gideon Mensah is now heading back to France.

According to reports gathered, AJ Auxerre have reached an agreement to sign the Black Stars asset.

Sources say the defender has already passed a mandatory medical examination and will sign a three-year contract with the French Ligue 1 side.

It is likely that an official announcement of the signing of Gideon Mensah by AJ Auxerre will come this weekend.
