Lens' Ivory Coast international Aruna Dindane has Portsmouth, Fulham and Manchester City chasing his signature.
The race is on, even though he won't be available until October following a knee operation.
Dindane has also been watched by Manchester United, while Wigan wanted him in January.
In France, he is being courted by Lyon, Nancy and St Etienne, but Dindane would prefer a crack at the Premier League.
