Piedfort bolts to Auxerre, ASSE’s midfield hunt in tatters
A €5 million move for 21-year-old midfielder Arthur Piedfort collapses as AJ Auxerre snap him up from Westerlo, leaving AS Saint-Étienne scrambling for Plan B under new owners.

Arthur Piedfort is leaving Belgium for Ligue 1 after AJ Auxerre agreed a €5 million deal with KVC Westerlo for the 21-year-old midfielder. Piedfort will complete a medical on Monday and sign a four-year contract, ending AS Saint-Étienne’s pursuit under Kilmer Sports Ventures. The move hands Auxerre a ready-made Ligue 1 option while ASSE must reset their transfer strategy.
