French soccer club seeks Chinese investors to help field triumphs
It has been 17 years since AJ Auxerre topped the French soccer league. Now languishing mid-table in Ligue 2, the Burgundy side is looking to Chinese investors to help them climb back to glory days and top form.
In return, the club that gave Eric Cantona his professional debut - and has honed the skills of Laurent Blanc, Basile Boli, Djibril Cisse and Bruno Martini among others - is offering to help improve soccer in China through establishing a specialized academy there and bring talented players to Europe.
