Stoke City midfielder Giannelli Imbula is expected to return to France this summer.

Monaco are regarded as favourites for Imbula, though Nice are also being linked.

OGCN president Jean-Pierre Rivère has hinted they're keen, though was coy when asked about Imbula last night.

"I think our midfield is already covered. We are still waiting for three or four more recruits," said Rivere.
