Nantes keen to keep Sheffield Utd striker Benie Traore

Nantes are keen to keep hold of Sheffield United striker Benie Traore.

Traore spent the second half of this season on loan with the French club.

He played 14 competitive matches and made one assist.

Fotboldirekt.se says Nantes want to buy Traoré, although he has yet to make compensation for them. The French club has an option to buy, but it is not clear what it is.

Traore joined the Blades last summer from BK Hacken in Sweden.
