Nice have reportedly emerged as the frontrunners to land Chelsea winger Gael Kakuta, according to L'Equipe.
The 20-year-old Frenchman, who made a controversial move to Stamford Bridge from Lens in 2007, is expected to join a Ligue 1 club during the January transfer window.
Even though Saint-Etienne and Marseille were both apparently interested, it had been thought that Dijon were leading the chase for Kakuta’s signature.
However, L’Equipe have suggested that Dijon are not in a position to meet the youngster’s wage demands and Nice are now allegedly ready to pounce.
Nice are currently 17th in Ligue 1 but Kakuta, who has been capped at every under-age grade level by France, is reportedly willing to move to a smaller club in order to secure more regular first-team football after the failure of his loan spell with Bolton during the first half of this season.
