Gabriel Osho has reached agreement on a new contract with Ligue 1 club, AJ Auxerre, reports Completesports.com.
The Nigeria international linked up with the Auxerre on a free transfer last summer.
Osho put pen to paper on a one-year contract with the option of an additional two.
According to Africafoot, the two-year option will be activated soon which means the centre-back will remain with Christophe Pellisier’s side until 2027.
The defender has featured regularly for Auxerre since his arrival at the club.
Osho has scored once in 19 appearances across all competitions for the former Ligue 1 champions.
He has made once appearance for Nigeria at the international level.

The non-invitation of Osho to the team should raise more concerns about the yardstick for selection of players. In his last match for the national team, Osho performed creditably well. For the first time in the current set-up, i saw a rugged Taribo like player, that is more composed with additional skills like match reading, ball playing, positioning, marking, and passing skills.
According to a recent report, Chelle gave playing in top 5 leagues as the reason for picking Sadiq ahead of Dessers. But the question is : Whats is the reason for dropping a regular top 5 league defender ?
Osho is the only defender in current set-up with multiple top 5 league experience.
