Brest interested in Chelsea goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina before moving on to Nice's Maxime Dupé
Brest were previously interested in Chelsea goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina (21) before intensifying talks with Ligue 1 rivals OGC Nice over Maxime Dupé (32), according to . The Bretons are in the market for a goalkeeper after parting ways with Marco Bizot (34). The reliable Dutch shot-stopper was set to enter his final contract year in Brittany, but he was allowed to leave as a recognition of his contributions. Aston Villa pounced and signed Bizot, who is understood to act, for now, as Emiliano Martinez's backup. Brest then scoured the market for a goalkeeper. According to Mohamed Toubache-Ter, Eric Roy's Bretons were interested in Slonina. The 21-year-old spent the first half of the past campaign on loan at Barnsley FC before being recalled by Chelsea. He was an unused substitute during the Club World Cup. It appears Brest have moved on from Slonina to another more experienced target in Maxime Dupé. The 32-year-old goalkeeper was Marcin Bulka's understudy in Nice. Les Aiglons have replaced the Pole by Reims' Yehvann Diouf. Talks are reportedly heating up between Nice and Brest.

‘I just laugh about it' – Youssoufa Moukoko on criticism
Youssoufa Moukoko (20) completed a permanent transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Copenhagen last month for a reported €5m that could rise to €7m via performance bonuses. The young attacker had a troubled loan spell at OGC Nice last season, and was underwhelming during his time in Dortmund's first team, which resulted in the youngster drawing criticism. In an interview with TV2, cited by Kicker, Moukoko emphasised that he had learned lessons from his 'difficult year' in France, where played just 199 minutes of Ligue 1 football, scoring two goals and providing two assists across 11 league games, which saw his Transfermarkt value plummet from €20m to €10m. However, during his time in France, Moukoko learned 'to be humble' and 'to keep both feet on the ground, and not to be arrogant.' Advertisement When answering a response about criticism, Moukoko added: 'I don't care what people say or write about me. Whatever it is, I just laugh about it.' The Danish Superliga starts earlier than most leagues, with Copenhagen playing against Viborg in the opening game on July 18. With one last friendly against Bundesliga newcomers Hamburg on Saturday, Moukoko added: 'Once I've found my rhythm again, it will be really, really fun.' GGFN | Daniel Pinder
