Despite recent reports with Tottenham Hotspur, it appears that Olympiakos defender Kostas Tsimikas is set to join the French side Nice this summer. 

It was previously reported by SDNA that Tottenham, along with Premier League rivals Liverpool, are keen on the player. Tottenham are hunting for a replacement at left-back, with Danny Rose’s time at the club seemingly at an end. 

Tsimikas, who has been in fine form with the Greek giants this season, was seemingly an option that Tottenham were considering. 

However, Gianluca Di Marzio is now suggesting that the talented defender is on his way to Nice. The Italian report claims that the 24-year-old is set to join the French side on a three-year deal with an option of a further year extension. 

The cost of the deal is likely to be around €8 million (£7.2m), a potential bargain for Nice, who have qualified for the Europa League next season.

Tottenham fans might be wondering why, at that price, they are not making a move for the player themselves. 

Tsimikas, who has seven assists this season, played against Spurs twice this season in the Champions League and impressed in both fixtures. He then went on to help the Greek side eliminate Arsenal from the Europa League. 

But it appears Tottenham will be looking for a different left-back replacement this summer.
