Nice in for Song

Highly-rated Alexandre Song Billong could be on his way Nice.

Highly-rated Alexandre Song Billong could be on his way to Nice, despite reported interest from England and Italy.

The Bastia star has reportedly refused to return for pre-season training with his French club as he looks to move to a higher profile team.

The talented defender has apparently been followed by Manchester United - who feel the teenager is one for the future, and Italian giants Internazionale are also waiting in the wings.

Bastia are not keen to lose the prodigious talent - but are aware that Ligue 2 is not the level that the African star wants to play at.

Although they could probably receive a payment for the player from Inter now, a more complicated deal with Nice may bring a greater return for their development of the young talent.
