Nice back-up set for shock Southampton switch

French daily newspaper Nice-Matin is reporting that Nice goalkeeper Mouez Hassen is set to join Premier League side Southampton.

The 21-year-old has seen his first team chances severely limited of late and he is set to leave the club in the January window,

According to Nice-Matin, Hassen will soon be reunited with former boss Claude Puel at St Mary’s as he is about to join Southampton on loan with an option to buy.

The talented shot-stopper was a first team regular at Allianz Riviera when the current Saints manager was in charge and the duo will get another opportunity to work together.

Hassen already has 49 Ligue 1 outings to his name, but he was last a starter in France’s top flight back in November 2015.

Current goalkeeper options at Southampton include veteran Stuart Taylor, Fraser Forster, Alex McCarthy and Harry Lewis.
