St Etienne defender Yohan Benalouane is in talks with a Premiership club.
Benalouane has been linked with Rangers, West Ham United and Newcastle United.
"We've been talking to a club in the English Premier League, and he's been talking to them as well, but if that doesn't work maybe he will reconsider his position," said St Etienne chief Damien Comolli, the former Tottenham director of football.
"There is some interest in the ?English Premier League. The player wants to go, so we are listening to offers. But I haven't heard anything from Rangers."
