    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The report further claims that the attacker will certainly leave Corinthians this summer, however, he is unlikely to move to the Premier League. Ligue 1 side Nice have been tracking the player for several weeks and have remained in contact with his representatives. It is believed that Gassova might consider moving to France at this stage of his career instead of making a big jump by moving to the Premier League.
