Jackson told the club's website: “It’s a similar situation to Fabio (Silva, on-loan with Las Palmas). Two players that we've seen a lot, we’ve invested a lot in, and now we're just trying to get the very best that we can from them. That's the balance that we always have. We have to have a commercial eye on these things as well.
“But Ki-Jana plays a lot of football, plays a lot of minutes in a great league over there in France. It'll be a really good test for him, a different test.
"We know he can do it in the Championship easily, but going to Auxerre, he's going to get some really good tests over there.”
