OGC Nice have officially confirmed that midfielder Valentin Eysseric has left the club and will join Serie A club Fiorentina immediately for a fee believed to be around €3m.

Eysseric, 25, joined the club from Monaco back in 2013 and spent a few loan spells out with Saint Etienne, but failed to live up to the promise that many expected him to reach.

The versatile midfielder played 120 Ligue 1 games for Le Gym, scoring 14 goals and 13 assists, but will now move to a club who are potentially in trouble in Serie A, so he will need to be on top form from the start.
