Nice interested in signing Denis Bouanga from Los Angeles FC | OneFootball

According to L’Équipe, Nice are interested in signing Denis Bouanga (29) from Los Angeles FC. Les Aiglons want to recruit a versatile forward in the January transfer window and the former Saint Étienne winger suits the profile of player that Farioli desires to add to his attack.

Following LAFC’s 2-1 MLS Cup final defeat to Colombus Crew, Denis Bouanga is expected to leave the Californian club and is favouring a return to Ligue 1. This makes Nice a prime candidate to secure the services of the Gabonese forward as he has his sights set on a return to Ligue 1.

Back in Ligue 1

Bouanga left France in the summer of 2022 following the relegation of Saint Étienne to Ligue 2. The Gabon international signed for the MLS club Los Angeles FC for €4.55m in 2022. During his time in the US, the 29-year-old made 58 appearances scoring 41 goals and assisting a further 15.
