Mercato: after the talented Stengs, Nice wants to enchant! – Soccer

OGC Nice announced the signing of Dutch winger Calvin Stengs on Wednesday evening. The azuren club is working on other tracks to quickly respond to the expectations of its new trainer Christophe Galtier.

The transfer window of OGC Nice is launched. The azuren club took a little delay in its summer recruitment due to long negotiations with Lille concerning the arrival of Christophe Galtier, but the new Niois coach is there. And the Aiglons were able to shift into a higher gear to advance on several issues.

Nice offers itself Stengs

Starting with that of the promising Calvin Stengs (22), whose arrival was formalized on Wednesday evening. The Dutch winger arrives from AZ Alkmaar, where his performances convinced Nice to spend around 10 million euros. After a full season (30 league games, 7 goals, 5 assists), Calvin Stengs chose the Gym to continue his progress and take up a first challenge outside his native land. , welcomes the OGCN in a press release.

Author of 15 goals and 17 decisive assists in 78 Eredivisie games, the native of Nieuw-Vennep can play in both corridors of Galtier’s 4-4-2. The new Gym coach needed reinforcements on the wings. He even made it one of his priorities this summer. The technician champion of France holds with Stengs a player capable of bringing depth to the sides thanks to his speed.

Hamouma and Lemina targets

Nice could be enchanted with the arrival of Romain Hamouma (34 years old). Free from any contract, the former Stphanois is in the sights of Galtier, who had him under his orders at ASSE and wishes to bring experience to his workforce to supervise young people. This track also flattens the direction of the Azur, which should try to move forward quickly in this case. The native of Lure is coming out of a complicated season in Saint-Etienne (6 goals and 1 decisive pass), but he does not represent a great financial risk and knows L1 perfectly.

Another hot track, in the midfield this time, leads to England. The Team confirms this Thursday the interest of Nice for Mario Lemina (27) who has only one year of Southampton contract. The former OM and Lorient midfielder would be excited about a return to France despite Newcastle’s interest across the Channel. The OGCN must negotiate with the Saints but a good deal seems possible given the player’s contractual situation.
