Nantes to close Mehdi Abeid deal

L’Équipe report that Nantes expect to close the free transfer signing of 26-year-old Algerian international midfielder Mehdi Abeid.

Abeid is currently at AFCON, but has been a free agent for 9 days following the expiry of his contract with Dijon.

Parma in Italy have also enquired for the player, but his entourage suggests that Les Canaris are his priority destination.
