Midfielder Han-Noah Massengo, currently at Burnley, is about to return to AJ Auxerre, where he had already played on loan during the first half of 2023. The 23-year-old could again be sold for six months, a welcome reinforcement for the Burgundian midfield.
An expected return after a difficult spell at Burnley
Since his arrival at Burnley, Massengo has struggled to establish himself in Vincent Kompany's squad. With only 93 minutes of play accumulated in the Championship this season, the young midfielder is looking for an opportunity to relaunch his career. Auxerre, where he left a good impression during his previous loan, seems to be the ideal setting to find playing time and contribute to a familiar sporting project.
A glaring need in midfield
This return comes in a context of readjustment for the AJA, particularly after the announced departure of Rayan Raveloson. The Burgundian club, looking for solidity in the midfield, sees in Massengo a profile capable of bringing technique, dynamism and experience despite his young age.
An imminent outcome
If the final details of the loan are finalized in the coming days, Han-Noah Massengo could quickly join the Auxerre squad for the second part of the season. This return is part of a logic of complementarity between the player, in search of regularity, and a club where he had already flourished.
