St Etienne president Roland Romeyer admits they're keen on West Ham United striker Modibo Maiga.
Maiga has been in excellent goalscoring form this preseason.
"Maiga is a player we have studied," Romeyer told beINSPORT.
"Maiga is one of the options we have looked at, but there are other players. We will make a signing as soon as possible."
