Lens are keen on Hull City striker Daniel Cousin.
The 32-year-old, who arrived at the KC Stadium from Rangers last season, has featured just twice for the first team this season and is set to leave Humberside in the New Year.
Lens are currently struggling at the wrong end of the French Ligue 1.
They are hoping Cousin can recapture the form of his successful first spell in France to help lift them out of trouble.
