Mbaye Niang has experienced a second downturn in Ligue 2 in two years. After Bordeaux, the Senegalese striker was relegated with Auxerre. The Caen-trained striker took to his social networks to announce his departure from the club. He is at the end of his contract. "I've taken some time to digest this season, but now I'm ready to take on a new challenge, depending on the objectives I'm given. My aim is to become stronger and more confident every day.
Mbaye Niang played 30 Ligue 1 games, including 17 as a starter. With 6 goals, he still finished as Auxerre's top scorer. It now remains to be seen where the 28-year-old will bounce back.
