Club career

Monaco and loan moves

Born in Marseille, Nimani's spell at AS Monaco began well when he scored on his debut against Auxerre on 9 September 2006. Despite bursting onto the scene at the Stade Louis II in spectacular fashion,[according to whom?] he was loaned to Lorient in 2007. However, after a bust-up with Christian Gourcuff in January 2008, he was recalled and loaned to Ligue 2 outfit Sedan for the rest of the season.

On his return to Monaco, he scored the match winner on the first day of the 2008–2009 season against Paris Saint Germain. Nimani went on to register 7 goals in his first full season at Monaco, developing a good partnership with fellow striker Park Chu-Young and keeping the likes of Serge Gakpé and Juan Pablo Pino out of the first team.

Nimani's success attracted the attention of English Premier League and Spanish La Liga teams, most notably Arsenal and Real Madrid.[4] In June 2009, it was reported in the press that Alex McLeish and Tony Mowbray were tracking the French U21 international.[5]

However, Nimani made two appearances for Burnley coming on for Chris Eagles on a 65 minutes in a 1–0 defeat against Bolton Wanderers and he came on as a replacement for David Nugent in Burnley's 5-2 defeat away at Aston Villa, subsequently becoming the first player from the Central African Republic to play in the Premier League. Following Burnley's relegation back to the Championship, after one season in the Premier League, Burnley did not take up a permanent move for Nimani.

Nantes loan

Following his spell in England, Nimani joined French side Nantes on loan again for the rest of the season and never made appearance for Nantes. After AS Monaco's relegation to Ligue 2, Nimani scored his first goal in two years against Troyes in a 1–1 draw on 6 August 2011.[8] Nimani made only made three appearances this season at AS Monaco after falling out with managers Laurent Banide and then Marco Simone.

Nimani made his Europa League debut in the second leg against Udinese in a 3–0 loss on 23 February 2012, putting PAOK out of the tournament. On 18 April 2012, Nimani scored his first goal in a 2–0 win over Doxa Drama. After a loan at PAOK, the club did not take up a permanent move for Nimani.[12]
