Manchester City defender Juma Bah is closing in on a decision regarding his next destination, with French clubs Olympique Lyonnais and OGC Nice both vying for his signature on a loan deal.

According to reports from L’Équipe’s Hugo Guillemet, Lyon have made contact with Bah’s representatives to present their project, while Nice have also formally outlined their proposal to the player’s camp.

A final decision from Bah is expected soon as both Ligue 1 sides push to secure the talented defender ahead of the new season.

The Sierra Leonean defender was a crucial member of the RC Lens team where he spent half of last season following a loan move from City. Bah was featured in 10 Ligue 1 matches for the Red and Gold keeping four clean sheets. At just 19, he successfully made 37 recoveries and 17 interceptions.
