Arsenal and Tottenham are among clubs being linked with Belgian winger Leandro Trossard.
Southampton are also said to be interested in the £9m-rated 23-year-old, as are Monaco and Borussia Dortmund.
He has scored 15 goals in 18 games this season for KRC Genk, where he is under contract until 2021 but is expected to leave at the end of the season.
The Sun reports that his agent Josy Comhair has been told by Arsenal that they are interested in the player.
Comhair is quoted as saying: “I sought contact with Arsenal and Tottenham officials.
“Nobody at Tottenham was willing to confirm that Trossard is an option for them – but at Arsenal they were.
“They told me that Leandro has a very interesting profile for them, and said that they had been following his progress since August.
“They also said he had made the right choice to remain at Genk this season, and added that they are keeping a close eye on him.
“You can never say he won’t leave Genk in January, if a huge offer comes in that suits all parties – but that is not the plan.
“But I can say for sure that Leandro will leave the Belgian league in six months’ time.
“He’ll then be 24, and it will be time for him to make the step up. If Genk win the league title his value will be even higher.
“He wants to leave them on a high. He feels he can win a trophy with them this season.”
