Inter Milan are closing on a deal for Sochaux midfielder Lucien Agoume.

Inter will cough up €4.5m for the teen.

“The situation is very simple," Djibril Niang told East Republicain.

“Right now, we have an agreement with Inter and the Sochaux have - in quotation marks - an agreement on the figures to sell Lucien.

“Therefore, we're close to finalising the deal. The only small detail left is how these amounts will be paid."

He added: "I think we'll close with Inter. There were two other options, Manchester City and Arsenal, but they're not the player's first choice.

“We could've moved quicker with these clubs, but we worked on Lucien's desire. Inter have watched him very diligently since last year."
