Everton boss Roberto Martinez is chasing Wigan Athletic winger Jean Beausejour.
Martinez is set to compete with Bordeaux for the signing of Beausejour.
France Football says Bordeaux have been approached about the 29-year-old's situation and are now contemplating a bid.
With speculation about Leighton Baines future at Everton, Martinez could move for Beausejour as something of an insurance policy.
