Loaned by FC Porto to Auxerre in August, Danny Namaso has been standing out in the CAN while playing for the Cameroon national team, and the forward’s performances have attracted interest from England and Spain.
According to the website AfricaFoot, Leeds United and Betis are keeping an eye on the situation of the 25-year-old player, whose loan is valid until the end of the current season. The Cameroonian international has started in all three matches played by the Indomitable Lions in the CAN and is expected to return to the field on Sunday in the round of 16 against South Africa.
It is worth noting that Auxerre holds a purchase option of 5 million euros for 60% of Namaso’s rights. This option will become mandatory if the French club secures its place in Ligue 1 and the player accumulates at least 60% of the playing minutes during this period.
For now, however, Auxerre occupies the 16th place in the standings, a position that implies playing a play-off with a Ligue 2 team – a scenario that both the English and Spanish clubs will be following with particular interest.
