Celtic-linked Isak Jansson has officially completed his move to Nice.
The 23-year-old was mentioned as a potential option for the Parkhead club to replace the departing Nicolas Kuhn.
A move never came to fruition, though, with Nice swooping in to complete a deal reported to be worth €10 million, a record sale for Jansson's now former club, Rapid Vienna.
He has since explained his transfer decision: "I am very happy and very proud to be joining OGC Nice," said the winger [ogcnice.com].

"After my discussions with the management and the coach, I am convinced that I am making the right decision. I am aware that the club has great ambitions, both in Ligue 1 and in Europe. It is up to me to do everything possible to help the team grow and to make the supporters proud."
Nice's sporting director, Florian Maurice, added: "We closely followed his performances last season. We are convinced that he can bring a real plus to our squad.
"Isak is a young player with potential, but already with experience. He shows solidarity on the pitch. He is capable of playing in all attacking positions, with a preference for left winger, on the 'wrong foot'. Physically, he is powerful and capable of repeating efforts, while showing skill in the penalty area."
