A new contender has emerged to sign Paul Pogba as the former Manchester United midfielder prepares to return after 20 months away, according to a report.

Pogba has been without a team since mid-November when his Juventus contract was mutually terminated.

The Frenchman was initially hit with a four-year ban from football in February last year after a drugs test found increased levels of testosterone in his system.

However, the World Cup winner was handed a lifeline in October when the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) reduced the sanction from four years to 18 months following an appeal.
