The former Manchester City and Liverpool forward was impressive for Nice in France last season, despite being sent off three times during the campaign.

The Italian has also been linked with Spanish club Las Palmas, where he was reportedly keen to reunite with his former AC Milan teammate Kevin-Prince Boateng.
