Téléfoot Chaine report that Ligue 1 side OGC Nice are in advanced negotiations to secure the return of 31-year-old French central defender Maxime Le Marchand from Fulham on loan until the end of the season.
Les Aiglons are seeking to bolster their defence with more experience owing to the injury to Brazilian central defender Dante and the collection of young talents who have very limited Ligue 1 experience: Robson Bambu, Flavius Daniliuc, Stanley Nsoki and Andy Pelmard.
William Saliba also joined on loan earlier this month from Arsenal.
