Former Celtic kid Karamoko Dembele is on the radar of an English Championship team.
Reports have suggested Blackburn are tracking the 20-year-old.
The winger moved to France last summer, departing the Hoops on a free for Stade Brestois. He went on to make 15 appearances in Ligue 1.
However, it would appear that another move could be on the cards after only one year in the French top flight.
L’Équipe report that Blackburn is 'closely following' the young attacker's progress.
They say that the Championship outfit has made an initial contract with Brest, although no offer has been put on the table yet.
The report also states that the French side does hope to keep him as part of the first team, but they wouldn't be against selling him after only one year.
The London-born forward came through Celtic's academy and was regarded as the next top prospect in Scottish football.
He joined aged 10 in 2013, and went viral online a few years later after clips emerged of his skills and goals. Aged 13, Brendan Rodgers even invited Dembele to train with his first team at Lennoxtown.
Things haven't quite panned out the way the youngster would have liked, but there's still plenty of time for his development.
Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglou has been tipped to become the first Premier League manager to lose his job in the new season.
Louis Saha admits the first boss that comes to his mind when he thinks about the first sacking of the campaign is the Australians.
The new EPL season is still a fortnight away from its kick-off, with Tottenham facing a tricky away game at Brentford for Postecoglou's first outing.
