Benjamin Bourigeaud may not be a name familiar to many fans of the Premier League.
But he is a name attracting interest from the biggest clubs in England.
According to reports in Spain, no fewer than five of the big six in the top flight are keen on the 25-year-old midfielder.
Bourigeaud currently plays his football with Rennes in the French Ligue Un, impressing with six goals and five assists for the club last season.
Spanish side Sevilla were thought to be the front runners for his signature, but Estadio Deportivo report that Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are all interested, as well as Serie A sides Napoli, Atalanta, Roma, Inter and Milan.
Sevilla are reported to have made an opening offer of €12million, but that is well short of the figure that Rennes are hoping to get for him if they are to sell.
The French outfit are holding out for a fee in the region of €18million, which would make him a cheaper alternative to some of the transfer targets being linked with the likes of Arsenal and Spurs.
Bourigeaud has only shot to prominence in the last two seasons, with his six-goal haul last time out following the 11 strikes he hit in the 2017/18 season - his first at Rennes.
He played and scored against Arsenal in the Europa League last 16 encounter last season.
