St Etienne striker Jonathan Bamba is attracting late market interest from England.

The 21 year-old is being watched by Newcastle United and Crystal Palace, along with AC Milan and Sevilla.

L'Equipe says scouts from all four clubs saw Bamba star in last Saturday's win over Nice.

And there's concern inside ASSE they could be forced to sell Bamba in the coming weeks as major clubs firm up their interest.

ASSE expect major offers to arrive for Bamba - possibly this week.
