Angers are closing on a deal for Southampton midfielder Sofiane Boufal.

Boufal had offers from Olympiakos and Istanbul BB, but is ready to return to France - and Angers.

The former Angers attacker is excited by the prospect of a return and a deal could be struck today.

Angers coach Stephane Moulin is happy with the move and keen to see the agreement closed.

The Morocco international believes he can relaunch his career under Moulin.
