Stoke City and Fiorentina are on the trail of midfielder Abdou-Aziz Thiam, who could leave Monaco this summer.
The 19-year-old has just a year left on his contract with Ligue 1 giants Monaco and as a result the principality outfit are ready to offload him for an acceptable fee.
And there is interest in Thiam as, according to French magazine France Football, Stoke City and Fiorentina are alive to his potential.
A product of Monaco's youth set-up, Thiam has been capped by France at Under-19 level.
The 19-year-old, who operates as a defensively minded midfielder, has played his football for Monaco in their youth ranks.

Thiam also has European experience, having represented the Ligue 1 side in the UEFA Youth League.
It remains to be seen whether either Stoke or Fiorentina choose to push for Thiam's signature this summer, but it has been claimed Monaco are willing to allow him to leave.
