Clément Akpa, a 22-year-old Ivorian defender, has extended his contract with AJ Auxerre until 2027. This extension was confirmed on the club's official website, following an announcement by L'Équipe on October 4. The club expressed their delight in retaining Akpa, highlighting his versatility and performance as a defender, being a starter in 8 out of 10 matches this season in Ligue 1.

AJ Auxerre is planning to extend Clément Akpa's contract, which is currently set to expire in June 2026. Discussions regarding the contract extension have been ongoing for several weeks and are anticipated to conclude by the end of the month. The extension is considered a well-deserved reward for the 22-year-old player, recognized for his incisive and powerful interventions, and who has the potential to establish himself as a left central defender in a three-man defense in the coming months.
