Premier League clubs are chasing Lille defender Aurelien Chedjou.

Chedjou has been linked with Newcastle United and Arsenal this season.

His agent, Bruno Satin, told calciomercatoweb.it: "Lille is doing a little less well than last year so it is likely that after this season he'll leave the French club.

"His priority is to go to England. I'm talking to some clubs in the Premier League and we are working for a possible transfer overseas."
