Crystal Palace and Fulham are in contact with Reims for Boulaye Dia.
The centre-forward is also the subject of major interest from West Ham United, which view him as a replacement for Sebastien Haller after his sale to Ajax.
Le 10 Sport says Palace and Fulham have now come forward to sound out Reims about a price for Dia.
As it stands, no official proposal has been sent but the two clubs are preparing offers.
It's suggested both Fulham and Palace will wait until the final days of the market before making their move.
