Nice have signed Manchester United striker Deji Sotona.

The 17-year-old Irish attacker has swapped England for France as he believes he will be given more first team opportunities with the Ligue 1 club.

A statement from Nice read: "OGC Nice is delighted to welcome a player with such a huge potential.

"[He] will join Patrick Vieira's first-team squad as of this season."

Sotona - who can play anywhere across the front line - chipped in with five goals and two assists for United's U18s last term.

He rejected new terms offered by United to make the move to France.
