Southampton's French teenager Morgan Schneiderlin is a target for Premiership clubs.
Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham are following for former Strasbourg midfielder.
Schneiderlin has made a big impact on the South Coast and that has alerted United and Spurs, while Fulham are also thought to be prepared to offer £5million for the France Under-19 captain.
The lengthening queue of clubs means Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will have to bring forward his planned move for Schneiderlin, even though a rookie defensive midfielder would not seem to be at the top of an Emirates wanted list.
