Leeds’ ?10m Dieng deal in jeopardy as Nice swoop in

-

Leeds’ Deadline Day move for forward Bamba Dieng is in jeopardy with Nice threatening to pull off a last-minute deal.

Sky Sports News revealed on Deadline Day Leeds had agreed a ?10m fee with Marseille for Dieng and he was due to head over to the United Kingdom for a medical.

Fulham have also been in talks for Dieng in this summer transfer window but Nice, who have recruited Aaron Ramsey, Kasper Schmeichel and Nicolas Pepe so far this summer, have appeared to steal the 22-year-old from under Jesse Marsch’s nose.

The Senegal forward is in a private jet terminal in Nice and has been offered a five-year contract by the Ligue 1 club.

Dieng is now deciding his next move – and it is believed he is leaning towards joining Nice.
