FC Krasnodar midfielder Charles Kabore is attracting Premier League interest.
The Daily Mail says Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion are among the clubs looking at Kabore.
The 29-year-old former Marseille star has been a regular in the Russian side's midfield but is open to a move this winter and Krasnodar will consider selling for £6million.
Kabore, a holding player, was a key figure as he captained his country Burkina Faso in their march towards third place in the Africa Cup of Nations in January.
Krasnodar's season takes a temporary break after they play Amkar Prem on December 10 as the Russian season closes for the winter before resuming in March.
