Barcelona fullback Moussa Wague has explained his decision to move to Nice last month.

Wague has joined the Ligue 1 outfit on-loan to the end of the season.

And he admits Senegal teammate Racine Coly convinced him about the switch: "There were other clubs interested, but Nice is a good project. I made the right choice to grow with the team.

"Racine Coly is my friend. He told me a lot about the club. The supporters welcomed me very well yesterday against Lyon. I'm ready to play if the coach calls on me."

Coly is currently on-loan with Famalicao from Nice.
