OGC Nice linked with a move for Sofiane Boufal

Southampton attacker Sofiane Boufal is reportedly a target for Ligue 1 outfit OGC Nice this summer.

According to claims from French news outlet Le10 Sport, as translated by Sport Witness, the Moroccan international is being lined up for a summer exit from St Mary’s.

Boufal has cut a frustrated figure this season having been rotated frequently under Mauricio Pellegrino and generally overlooked by interim Saints boss Mark Hughes.

The winger was banished from first-team training last week after an alleged altercation with Hughes, casting further doubt over his long-term future on the South Coast.

Boufal was once Saints’ record signing following his £16m move from LOSC Lille in the summer of 2016 but has failed to live up to expectations after an exceptional previous season in France.

The 24-year-old has already been linked with a move away from Southampton this summer, with the likes of AC Milan and Inter Milan having been cited with interest.
