Rennes midfielder Fabrice N'Guessi Ondama is a shock target for Real Betis.
Estadio Deportivo says Betis chiefs regard N'Guessi Ondama, 21, as similar to former star Finidi George and are ready to take a chance on the player this summer.
The DR Congo international has just over a year to run on his Rennes contract and was little used this season on-loan at US Creteil.
