Ligue 1 side OGC Nice are in negotiations with Premier League side Stoke City for the loan of French central midfielder Giannelli Imbula, according to L’Équipe.
The 24-year-old is closing in on a loan deal to Les Aiglons, who have an opportunity to play Champions’ League football next season, in an agreement which will see Nice cover Imbula’s wages on partially.
Talks are ongoing but Nice are confident of making Imbula their fourth signing of the summer.
