With the start of the Ligue 1 season fast approach, OGC Nice wants to quickly find a replacement for Evann Guessand and. The Academy product left Le Gym earlier this week to join Aston Villa in a deal of € 35 million.
Gaëtan Laborde also left nicely this summer, while Victor Orakpo has left loan, so that Franck Haise has no attacking options. Terem Moffi is currently the only recognized No. 9 in the team. AJ Auxerre's Lassine Sinayoko has been associated with replacing Guessand, but their attention has apparently shifted to another target.
According to a report from L'Erquipe, Nice have again prepared their long -standing interest in Chelsea's David Datro Fofana (22). Chelsea is open to the sale of the attacker, but they want a permanent deal. The first idea of Le Gym was to borrow the player, with a purchase option, while it also paid a percentage of his wage.
There is also interest from Ligue 1 Rivals Toulouse FC, who are desperate about attacking reinforcements. Le Téfécé was willing to pay the desired reimbursement between € 4-5 million, but they cannot meet the salary requirements of Fofana.
