| Nice striker Alassane Pléa on the radar ofSpurs |
OGC Nice manager Patrick Vieira has confirmed that reported Tottenham, Newcastle United, Fulham, West Ham United target Alassane Pléa and former Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli both failed to report for training on Monday.
Reports have also suggested the player wants to play in the Premier League.
West Ham United are said to have submitted a £27 million (€30.54m) bid according to Sky Sports, which probably means they have submitted a bid of £23.87 million (€27m). Other reports say they haven't submitted a bid at all.
Reportedly a second club has bid £26 million (€29.41m) which is probably a bid of £22.98 million (€26m) for him, which is the figure we are reported to have made, while other reports say we haven't.
Nice and said to want £26.52 million (€30m) for the 25-year-old (26 next March) striker.
Yet another report suggests a bid of £25 million (€28.28m) has been made by someone, which probably means an actual bid of £22.10 million (€25m) has been made.
Borussia Mönchengladbach are reported to have had an offer of £15.91 million (€18m) rebuffed. Further reports have now surfaced from Germany suggesting that terms have been agreed with the player and that the two clubs are talking to try and agree a fee.
When the British press suggests a pound figure, take that as Euros and convert, then you'll probably have a more accurate figure.
Theere seem to be mixed views on him from Spurs fans, some haven't seen too many successes coming from France, therefore everyone in France must be rubbish is one view, with the likes of Clinton N'Jie and Georges-Kevin N'Koudou quoted.
N'Jie and N'Koudou were both young and were both wingers, whereas Pléa is a 25-year-old (26 next March) and is a centre-forward. He would be a backup to Harry Kane and replace Fernando Llorente who wants to leave.
We are not going to get a superstar to understudy Kane so this type of signing would make sense, however, he may well want regular football and not feel he get it as an understudy.
