Bristol City fans are revelling in the despair of AS Monaco supporters after the French side sold one of their young prospects to the Robins.

Han-Noah Massengo has swapped the opulent principality for BS3 in a deal worth a reported £7m, although it is thought the fee could be even less.

The 18-year-old defensive midfielder is a France youth international and has already made three starts in the Champions League for Les Monégasques.

Inevitably, Bristol City fans are salivating at the prospect of having Massengo on the books at Ashton Gate, but their counterparts from the city-state are not best pleased that the highly-rated young talent has been allowed to depart.

Both sets of fans have been reacting to the news on social media, including with a number of questionable Google Translate efforts.

AS Monaco

RH: It's a shame but it's his decision. He will probably regret it more than us...

Sherkhan: We sell a whiz but we keep Chadli? Are you sure you're actually aiming for the podium?

Alex de Mc: What a shame! There are so many goats around Jardim that we have managed to repulse one of the club's prospects.

Sofiane: Totally incomprehensible, both on the side of the club and the player. A lose-lose deal!

Falcao Jr: I hope you end up at Reading.

Emmanuel: All our young people who leave will never be top players. Only Mbappé was a whiz in the academy, the others will remain average players so no regrets.

Hass J: It's his choice, good luck in the future to him, he's a good boy.

Monaco Correspondent: Huge mistake. The two parties @AS_Monaco and @hn_massengo are in the same bracket. One for declining to involve young players in it's project. The other for his impatience and his lack of ambition.

Bristol City

Jamie: We will look after him.

Paul Newman: Han-Noah Massengo is a red, is a red, he hates Bart Simpson!

Kory: Thank you for the best footballer in the history of football who also has beautiful hair.

BCFC Daily: Thank you very much for letting us sign one of the best talents in football.

Mitch: Little old Bristol City signing wonder kids from the continent. We’re absolutely massive.

Daudzic: Don't waste this kid @BristolCity ... hope you're aware of his potential.

George G: We’ve actually just signed the first player born in the 21st century to play in the Champions League.

Graham Good: Would rather have a 30-year-old experienced striker at the moment. I hope HN is a massive hit but for now I’d like some confidence that we aren’t going to play Fam upfront on his own until Jan with Andres outside and NE yo-yoing in and out of the first 11.

Joe Sims: Welcome to Bristol mate! Over the moon to have you here. #COYR
