OGC Nice and Rapid Vienna have reached an agreement for the transfer of Swedish forward Isak Jansson.

With Franck Haise's squad currently in the third week of their pre-season, they are set to welcome a new addition to the squad: Isak Jansson. A former Swedish U-21 international, the 23-year-old forward "is one of the investments we absolutely wanted to make", stresses Florian Maurice, sporting director of Les Aiglons. He added, "We closely monitored his performances last season. We're convinced that he can add real value to our squad. Isak is a young player with potential, but he also has experience. He shows commitment on the pitch. He's capable of playing in all the attacking positions, with a preference for the left-winger position, on his weaker side. Physically, he's powerful and capable of putting in a lot of effort, as well as being adept in the penalty area."

The Kinna native made 33 appearances in 2024-25, scoring 9 goals and providing 6 assists (in all competitions), playing a key role in Rapid Vienna's fine European campaign, which ended in the Conference League quarter-finals against Djugarden. Trained and debuted as a professional at Kalmar FF in his homeland, he went on to play for FC Cartagena in Spain, before moving to Austria in the winter of 2024 and then to the Côte d'Azur in the summer of 2025. "I'm very happy and very proud to be signing for OGC Nice," said the new Aiglon. "After my discussions with the directors and the coach, I'm convinced that I'm making the right decision. I'm aware that the club has big ambitions, both in Ligue 1 and in Europe. It's up to me to do everything I can to help the team grow and make the fans proud."

"Like Gabin, Juma and Yehvann, Isak fits the profile we were looking for, both in sporting and human terms. He's a player with a strong team spirit. He's talented and he's capable of bringing freshness to the group. I'd like to welcome him to the club and wish him every success with us," concluded Jean-Pierre Rivère.
