Le Havre to sign Sofiane Boufal, Romain Faivre ‘to join’ Auxerre

Le Havre, 13th in Ligue 1, had lined up deals for Romain Faivre and Sofiane Boufal, but the Faivre move has fallen away.

According to Paris-Normandie, Faivre is instead expected to sign for Auxerre. He had been set to join on loan from Bournemouth.

Faivre’s recent loans were Lorient in 2023, Brest in 2024-2025 and Al-Taawoun in 2025.

Boufal, the former Angers forward, should join until the end of the season once he passes his medical. The Morocco international has 46 caps and 8 goals.

He would sign as a free agent after terminating his Union Saint-Gilloise contract in early January. Le Havre have been looking for width and extra punch in attack after scoring 15 league goals, one more than Auxerre.
