AARON RAMSEY is set to be offered a new contract by Nice, according to reports.
The former Arsenal star has returned to form with the Ligue 1 side after an injury-plagued spell at Juventus.
He has scored one goal in 28 games for Nice and helped manager Didier Digard remain unbeaten since taking charge in January.
And according to L'Equipe, Ramsey has already made enough appearances to trigger a one-year contract extension.
The report adds that Nice are plotting to tie down the Wales captain for another two years, given his impressive form.
Ramsey, 32, signed a one-year deal when he joined Nice last summer but he has settled in well to the club owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is in the running to buy Manchester United.
