“Compared to the ideas that we want to put in place and the identity of the game that we want to establish, he is the ideal striker,” Ghilsolfi said.

“Terem can play with his back to goal, to go deep. He is a modern attacker, very fast, very powerful.

“He has the experience, fights for the team, he can multiply races while maintaining his lucidity in the zone of truth. In L1, it is already a reference.

“A new level awaits him in Nice, where he will discover the European Cup next spring and will be one of the strong men of the club’s high ambitions.”
