Toulouse midfielder Moussa Sissoko is emerging as a major target for Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho.
The Nerazzurri coach sees the young France international as a replacement for veteran midfielder Patrick Vieira, who is expected to leave in June.
Inter chief Marco Branca has made regular checks on Sissoko this season as they prepare a major bid for the midfielder.
Toulouse have no plans of losing Sissoko in January and rate the youngster in the £12 million class.
