Juma Bah’s OGC Nice loan could be terminated amid Crystal Palace and Brentford interest

Juma Bah’s (19) loan to OGC Nice has not gone to plan. The Sierra Leone international joined from Manchester City over the summer, following a six-month loan spell at RC Lens during the previous campaign.

At Lens, Bah began slowly, but by the end of the campaign, he looked more convincing. It was a slow start at Nice, too, but unlike at Lens, he has yet to hit his stride. As a result, L’Équipe understands that Bah’s loan with Le Gym could be cut short this January. That is despite there being no clause facilitating a termination without a fee.

The Daily Mail add that the player in question is on the lookout for a new opportunity amid his struggles at the Allianz Riviera. There are tentative approaches from Crystal Palace and Brentford on either a temporary or permanent basis. Manchester City believe that they could recoup more than the £5m that they initially spent on the defender.
