Burnley FC is showing interest in defender Kojo Peprah Oppong from Nice, per reports from L’Equipe. The 22-year-old joined Nice last summer and has since become a regular starter, appearing in 40 matches during the last season.

Oppong's market value has reportedly increased significantly since he joined Nice for under €3 million. Trabzonspor and another unnamed Ligue 1 club are also interested in signing him.
