Le Télégramme report that EA Guingamp are set to pip ESTAC Troyes to the signing of 21-year-old left-back Morgan Poaty.
Poaty, who spent last season on loan at ESTAC from Montpellier, has 12 months left on his current deal with his parent club, but is expected to depart.
Troyes want to activate the option to buy in their agreement for Poaty, but the player appears now set to turn them down in exchange for a move to EAG.

On top of Poaty, Guingamp are in advanced talks to land Jérémy Mellot from Rodez as a right-back.
