Six clubs have reportedly made a bid for Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumare ahead of the January transfer window.
Despite being just under two months short of his 21st birthday, Soumare has already made 59 appearances for the French club in all competitions.
The Frenchman has made a positive impression in recent months, with his performances allegedly resulting in interest from the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
According to Get Football News France, half-a-dozen unnamed teams have made an effort to sign the defensive-minded player this month.
Lille are unlikely to contemplate a sale unless they receive a bid in excess of £50m, a stance which may lead to bids which include allowing the prospect to remain at his current club for the rest of the campaign.
