French outfit OGC Nice reach agreement to sign Senegalese goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf

OGC Nice have reached an agreement to sign Senegalese goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf in the ongoing summer transfer window.

The French Ligue 1 outfit are bolstering their squad for the upcoming 2025/26 football campaign, and Diouf, who plies his trade for Stade Reims has emerged as a priority target.

The 25-year-old shot stopper made 34 appearances, conceding 47 goals and keeping 7 clean sheets in the Ligue 1. He has become a subject of interest for several clubs including fellow French outfit RC Lens and Serie A club Torino.

However, Nice have wrapped up the signing of Diouf, who was one of the best-performing goalkeepers in Ligue 1 last season, despite Reims’ relegation.

Nice fended off competitions from Ligue 1 rivals RC Lens and Serie A side Torino to secure the services of Diouf.

The 25-year-old Reims captain was under contract with the Champagne side until 2027, but he was not expected to pursue his career in the second-tier.

The Senegal international will replace Marcin Bulka between the sticks at Allianz Riviera. The Poland international will leave Les Aiglons amid interest from Sunderland and Neom. Bulka has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with the Saudi Pro League side.
