Salis Abdul Samed joins OGC Nice on three-year deal

Ghana midfielder Salis Abdul Samed has joined French Ligue 1 side OGC Nice ahead of the 2025/26 season.

The 25-year-old has signed a three-year contract with the club after spending last season on loan at English side Sunderland, where he fell out of favour at RC Lens.

Despite playing a pivotal role in the Black Cats’ promotion to the Premier League, Sunderland opted not to make his move permanent.

Salis, a former Clermont Foot midfielder, made 11 appearances for Sunderland during his loan spell.

He is expected to play a central role for Nice this season and could make his debut on August 16 when Le Gym host Toulouse at the Allianz Riviera.
