Montpellier president Louis Nicollin expects to sell winger Ryad Boudebouz to the Premier League.

The midfielder is a target for Marseille, but Nicollin sees better opportunities in England.

"It is not that he has the desire to leave, but I think for any professional footballer, there comes a time when the lure of winning is superior to the love of the club," said Nicollin.

"And I think Ryad, and I think it's okay, he's going to take money in England. Believe me this is good."

Liverpool and Everton were linked with Boudebouz over Christmas.
