Ghana forward Abdul Majeed Waris is on the verge of joining French Ligue 1 side Nantes on loan from FC Porto.

The 26-year-old signed a four-year deal with the Dragons this summer but he has to move out on loan as manager Sergio Conceicao has not included him in his squad for the coming season.

Several clubs including St. Etienne and Turkish outfit Bursaspor have shown interest in him but reports reaching GHANASoccernet.com indicate that the former Lorient striker will join Ligue 1 side Nantes since Manager Miguel Cardoso has already pledged to grant him enough playing time.

Waris struggled to churn out regular playing time when he joined Porto on loan in January making only five appearances.
