Lille striker Nicolas de Preville has attracted a bid from Burnley.
The Sun says De Preville joined Lille on-loan from Belgian side KV Oostende.
The deal was made permanent this summer and de Preville netted in the 3-0 opening day win over Nantes.
Burnley have also been looking at Colombian Duvan Zapata of Napoli.
But Frenchman de Preville is their favoured choice, being 6ft tall, skilful and with pace.
