The 19-year-old is known to be attracting interest from a number of English clubs ahead of next season after he turned down a new three year deal at Montpellier meaning he is available on a free transfer.

The 19-year-old can play on both flanks or as a No 10, his versatility making him an attractive proposition to his suitors.
