It's reported Everton have made a late approach for Odsonne Edouard, as they look to beat Bordeaux and Rubin Kazan to his signature.
The Celtic striker is out of contract at the end of the season, and is expected to be sold to recoup at least some of his value.
The Paris Saint-Germain youth product has interest from both Russia and his homeland, but it appears a dream move to the Premier League could become a reality.
According to Sky Sports News, Everton have "sounded out" Celtic over the situation of the French Under-21 international.
The Toffees would be able to meet Edouard's £80,000 per week wage demands, while playing in England's top flight would clearly be an attractive proposition.
Manager Rafa Benitez was credited with an interest in the forward during his time at Newcastle United, but an offer never materialised.
Celtic are already on the verge of securing Edouard's replacement, with Georgios Giakoumakis set to arrive from VVV-Venlo.
Last season's Eredivisie top-scorer has agreed a four year contract to move to Parkhead, with a bid already accepted.
All that remains is for the striker to take a medical and join up with Ange Postecoglou's side.
