OGC Nice continues its strengthening campaign for the next season. Next Monday, another new face will make an appearance at the Charles-Ehrmann Sports Park training center. Alongside Jean-Victor Makengo and Adrien Tameze, Pierre Lees-Melou will take his first steps under the direction of Lucien Favre.
An agreement has been reached with Dijon FCO for one of the revelations of the season, Pierre Lees-Melou. The attacking midfielder, who arrived in Nice late Wednesday, underwent his medical examination on Thursday.
A new step in his rapid rise.
Not retained by Girondins when he was 16 and only 1.60m tall, Pierre Lees-Melou (now measuring 1.85m) was playing in CFA2 at Lรจge during the 2014-15 season.
A key player in the promotion to Ligue 1 in 2016, he was an essential link in the talented Dijon team this season.
He has 32 games to his name, with 7 goals (including 4 headers) and 3 assists.
