OGC Nice is closely monitoring the situation of left-back Niels Nkounkou, with a potential move possible in the final days of the transfer window. It is reported that the Ligue 1 club is considering a loan deal for the player, who is considered a possible replacement for Melvin Bard, should he leave Nice. Nkounkou is not included in Eintracht Frankfurt's plans and has been excluded from the squad after spending the previous season on loan at FC Turin.
