Leicester, Newcastle and Watford have all enquired about the availability of Abdoulaye Doucoure.
The Rennes midfielder was heavily linked with a move to Vicarage Road in the summer but negotiations broke down.
The 23-year-old has, though, continued to impress in Ligue 1 and clubs across Europe have scouted him.
Leicester, Newcastle and Watford, according to L’Equipe, are all keen on Doucoure and the trio have enquired over his availability.
Rennes are keen to hold onto their man but are aware of growing interest from the Premier League.
Doucoure was happy to stay in the summer but it is thought he could be swayed by high-flying Leicester.
