Yahoo Sports OGC Nice dismiss suggestions of Youssoufa Moukoko loan termination
Youssoufa Moukoko’s (20) loan move to OGC Nice is not going to plan for any party. The player has not got his career back on path, as far as Borussia Dortmund are concerned, he has not bolstered his transfer value, and for Nice, he has not proven decisive and reliable when called upon.
In 13 games, he has just two goals and two assists. In November, after a poor performance against FC Twente, Franck Haise admitted that the Germany international was struggling to find his feet. “These are difficult times when you’re a footballer,” said the Nice manager after that match. Things have not improved since and, as a result, Moukoko’s future has been called into question.
Le Gym have the option to buy the striker at the end of the season, and whilst that currently looks like an unlikely scenario, there had even been suggestions that Moukoko’s loan would be cut short. However, Haise has shut down any talk of an early termination of the loan deal.
“I am committed, the club are committed and the player is committed too. The thought [of a loan termination] isn’t even there. Instead, we’re thinking about how we can make sure that the player is more incisive and decisive,” said the Nice manager, after the 2-2draw to Montpellier HSC at the weekend.
