Raiola engineering Nice transfer for Crystal Palace starlet Atta

Crystal Palace starlet Zion Atta is set to leave the club.

The 16-year-old has rejected another contract offer from the Premier League side, per 90Min.

Atta is now getting closer to a move to France, where he is likely to join Ligue 1 side Nice.

The teenager was once hailed as the best young player in England, but off-field issues have derailed his progress somewhat.

He is now represented by super agent Mino Raiola, and may be looking to get the best possible deal to leave Palace, where he has been since he was 14.

Teams in Italy and Germany have interest in Atta, but Raiola has advised him to move to the nation of his birth - France.
