Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United will reportedly go head to head for the signing of Lille youngster Boubakary Soumare.
The 20-year-old emerged through Paris Saint-Germain's academy and has been compared to Paul Pogba, despite failing to make a single Ligue 1 start this term.
Soumare has been used 11 times from the bench, totalling less than 90 minutes of playing time, but he has seemingly done enough to earn recognition from Premier League clubs.
Le10 Sport reports that Newcastle had a bid rejected for the France Under-20s midfielder in January and they are still in the hunt to sign him, along with top-flight rivals Tottenham.
However, it is claimed that Juventus have also sent scouts to watch Soumare up close this season and may step forward with a bid of their own.
