St Etienne are eyeing Southampton fullback Yan Valery.
Sky Sports says ASSE are in the market for a new fullback and Valery is being considered.
Valery, 22, came through at Rennes before moving to Saints as a youth teamer.
The defender is now wanted back at ASSE, though they're also interested in PSG defender Colin Dagba.
ASSE hope to do business with Saints over an initial loan deal for Valery.
