Auxerre have finally prised goalkeeper Anthony Basso away from Viking.Viking had been eager to keep the shot-stopper in Norway or at least hold out for what they deemed to be a reasonable offer, but they have relented in the face of Auxerre's sheer persistence.
Basso only had six months remaining on his contract and was keen on a switch to France, Viking coach Tom Prahl explained.
"Anthony wants to play for Auxerre," he told the club's official website.
"We have taken the consequences.
"We wish him all the best and thank him for his time at Viking."
