Nice are reportedly still interested in signing current West Ham United loanee Jesse Lingard from his parent club Manchester United at the end of the season.
The 28-year-old has been in impressive form since joining West Ham on loan late in the January transfer window, scoring nine goals as well as registering four assists.
Lingard's form has helped the East London side mount a push for a Champions League spot, currently sitting only three points behind Chelsea who are in fourth, with the Hammers winning 2-1 away to Burnley on Monday night.
Calciomercato reports that French side Nice are still very keen on signing the England international, who is out of contract at Manchester United at the end of next season.
It was reported last week that Lingard will look to push for a permanent exit from Manchester this summer, but Nice will have to compete with West Ham and several other clubs for his signature.
Given his form since January, Manchester United may still demand a high fee for Lingard, who has played 210 games in total for the Red Devils, scoring 33 goals. body check tags ::
