Nice bring in Saint-Maximin from Monaco

Nice have signed France Under-20 forward Allan Saint-Maximin from Ligue 1 champions Monaco.

The 20-year-old has spent each of the past two seasons on loan at Bundesliga side Hannover and Bastia respectively, but now joins Nice on a permanent basic.

The terms of the transfer were not disclosed by either club.

Earlier on Monday, Nice completed the signing of experienced Netherlands playmaker Wesley Sneijder on a free transfer.
