Nice are in advanced talks with Southampton for Sofiane Boufal.

RMC says Nice are accelerating negotiations with Saints for the midfielder.

Despite an impressive preseason, Boufal is available from Saints after spending last term on-loan with Celta Vigo.

Nice are ready to splash out on Boufal after Jim Ratcliffe's takeover was approved this week.

Boufal is ready to leave, knowing he has no future at St Mary's.
