The news that numerous Premier League clubs are monitoring the situation with Strasbourg defender Mohamed Simakan is undoubtedly an intriguing proposition.
According to Sky Sports, at least four unnamed top-flight clubs are considering making a move for the French under-20 international.
AC Milan were believed to be leading the race to sign Simakan, with journalist Fabrizio Romano claiming that the Italian club were close to completing a deal.
However, their bid remains short of what Strasbourg are demanding, opening up the possibility of other clubs making an offer.
