Premier League clubs are circling Troyes for Samuel Grandsir.
Indeed, Le 10 Sport says two offer have already been tabled Troyes for the right-sided midfielder.
Both Newcastle United and West Bromwich Albion have offered proposals of €10m rising to €13m including bonuses. Bournemouth are also in contact.
Scouts from all three clubs saw Gransir in action against Amiens this week, along with St Etienne.
ASSE chief David Wantier is also keen, but recognises they cannot compete with Premier League clubs in an auction.
