KASPER SCHMEICHEL could be on his way out of Nice after just six months due to his “poor attitude”, according to reports.
The Danish goalkeeper, 35, only joined the Ligue 1 side this summer in a £900,000 switch from Leicester.
But according to L’Equipe, he has failed to impress in France so far.
And now the club could try and ship him out when the transfer market reopens in January.
Despite signing a three-year deal at the Allianz Riviera, he was dumped to the bench for Thursday’s Europa Conference League win over Slovacko.
It appears Schmeichel has some way to winning over Lucien Favre and his new supporters.

The Premier League winner, who was beaten by a superb Lionel Messi free-kick last weekend, has had question marks over his physique and mentality since he arrived at Nice.
Reports suggested he turned up to pre-season overweight with a very high body fat percentage.
He has also reportedly wound up his team-mates by breaking club rules including turning up to meetings late and not sticking to mandated rest days.
To make matters worse, he angered some by allegedly going over Favre’s head to speak to owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe about being in the team.

Schmeichel was brought in to be a leader in the dressing room but has so far not taken on that role.
And his unsettled start could even get Leicester fans excited about an unlikely return.
The legendary stopper and captain left the club after 11 years.
But his influence on and off the pitch has been felt strongly by Brendan Rodgers’ side, with replacement Danny Ward conceding 24 goals in nine matches already.
