da pinnacle: According to RMC, Roma have failed in a bid to bring Nice midfielder Jean-Michaël Seri to the Serie A club.
What’s the Word?
Jean-Pierre Rivere, President of OGC Nice, confirmed to the French media on Monday that Roma have made an offer for the clubs’ highly-rated midfielder Jean-Michaël Seri; an offer which was rejected by the French club.
Rivere stated, “We have a wish to keep Jean-Michaël. As far as we are concerned, apart from AS Roma, who have spoken out and who have made an offer, we do not have other offers from other clubsâ€.
The report coincides with The Guardian journalist Ed Aarons claiming Arsenal and Spurs are both interested in the 25-year-old.
How good has Seri been this season?
The diminutive central midfielder (he stands at just 5ft5) has been a revelation at the heart of the Nice team this season. Playing 42 times in all competitions for the club, Jean-Michaël Seri contributed seven goals and nine assists in that time and was frequently the most influential player on the pitch.
Seri, who is valued at £11.9million by Transfermarkt, has an N’Golo Kante-like quality, in terms of undyingÂstamina and an ability to break up play in the middle of the park. However, Seri is a far more attack-minded player than Kante, with a phenomenal passing ability and a fierce shot from long range.
