Premier League clubs are circling as Jordan Ayew seeks a move away from Lorient.
L'Equipe says Ayew has submitted a transfer request to Lorient, well aware of intense English interest.
Liverpool, Everton, West Bromwich Albion and West Ham United are all eyeing the Ghana international, if he can convince Lorient to put him up for sale.
Ayew is the younger brother of new Swansea City signing Andre Ayew.
The brothers are the sons of three-time African Footballer of the Year Abedi Pele.
