Ghana international Gideon Mensah has expressed deep affection for AJ Auxerre following the club’s respectable showing in their return season to Ligue 1.
In a message shared on his official X page, Mensah reflected on the team’s performance in the 2024-2025 campaign and reaffirmed his commitment to the French side.
Mensah, who hails from West Africa, featured prominently throughout the season, solidifying his position in the starting lineup and contributing to Ghana’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
His consistent form helped AJ Auxerre secure an 11th-place finish in the 18-team top-flight league, ending the season with 42 points.
The club’s return to Ligue 1 saw them collect 11 wins, draw nine times, and lose 14 matches, ultimately concluding their campaign with a 3-1 defeat to champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Despite the final-day setback, the left-back’s tone was one of pride and gratitude.
“What a season… Proud to wear these colours, proud to be part of this group, proud to be at AJ Auxerre. A year full of hard work, passion, sweat, and most of all, love for this club,” Mensah posted.
The 26-year-old made 29 league appearances and registered one assist, underscoring his importance to the team’s steady return to top-tier French football.
