How Nice could line up next season with five familiar faces including Aaron Ramsey, Nicolas Pepe and Edinson Cavani


NICE are attracting big names to the club including the signing of Aaron Ramsey.

The Welshman, 31, arrived on a free transfer earlier this summer after he agreed to terminate his Juventus contract.

Nice could add another pair of former Prem aces before the transfer window closes.

The Ligue 1 side are reportedly in talks with Edinson Cavani regarding an ambitious move for the former Man United star.

The Uruguayan, 35, has been a free agent since leaving Old Trafford at the end of last season.

Nice are eager to add goals to their side, having drawn their opening two Ligue 1 matches 1-1 this season.

Cavani would have the pedigree to do just that – having been prolific in the French top flight for PSG prior to signing for United.

He won’t be joined by former Red Devils team-mate Alex Telles, however, with Nice missing out on their former target to Sevilla.

Boss Lucien Favre could look to Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe for more creativity.
