Jean Michaël Seri will be eager to end what has been a roller-coaster of a year on a positive note when Nice take on Lille in a French Ligue 1 clash this evening.

The 26-year-old, who has been heavily linked with a move to one of Europe's premier club sides, has enjoyed a fruitful 12 months.

Having played in integral part in Nice ending the previous campaign in third spot on the log standings, Seri has continued his upward trend despite a difficult start to the current campaign.

The Ivorian playermaker has helped Nice to four straight wins in France's top division while also playing his part in the club reaching the knockout stages of the Europa League.

Nice, though, will be hoping that the midfielder decides to remain at the club until at least the end of the season with Barcelona, Manchester City and Liverpool having been linked with his services.
