Nice are Ligue 1’s surprise leaders, inspired by a rejuvenated Mario Balotelli, who has scored seven goals in his last seven games.
Henen, 20, is a former Belgian under-19 international who has previously been at Ligue 1 club AS Monaco, where he played for their B team.
He has spent the past two seasons at Everton but failed to crack their first team, spending the second half of last season on loan at League One side Fleetwood Town.

He has spent most of his time playing in Everton’s under-23 side, and provided an assist in their last fixture against Chelsea.
Manager Ronald Koeman has a track record of playing young players, but if Henen wants a shortcut to first team football, then it would not be a surprise to see him move on in January, either on loan or on a permanent basis.
