Stoke City midfielder Giannelli Imbula has attracted interest from Ligue 1 club, OGC Nice.

According to The Mirror, the French side are ahead of Roma, Galatasaray and Marseille in the race for Imbula's signature.

The Potters paid Porto £18.3m – a club record – for the 24-year old in 2016, but he has failed to live up to expectations.

Nice are looking at a loan for the France international, however, Stoke want the deal to be permanent and are looking for a £15m fee.
