BIOGRAPHY
A key member of Nantes's squad, N. Cozza has been an important figure in the Ligue 1 this season. A native of Ganges in France, he converted his natural talent into a professional career through hard work and dedication. Operating as a defender, his frame of 178 cm and 72 kg gives him a physical edge in aerial and physical duels. Quiet but decisive, he manages his position with an efficiency that rarely lets his side down. His transfer from Montpellier to VfL Wolfsburg in 2023 for € 500K was one of the most talked-about deals of that window. As 2025/2026 unfolds, he continues to deliver performances that justify his place in Nantes's squad. A player of character and quality, he stands out as one of the most compelling profiles in the Ligue 1 this season.
