Serhou Guirassy has told Goal.com that he wants to sign for Rennes, despite rumours that Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal want to buy him.
Le10 Sport suggested in May that Tottenham wanted to bring in the target-man, while the Daily Mail said that Arsenal were keen on him in the same month.
Sky then went on to say that he will definitely be sold by Amiens this summer, just a week ago.
But the powerful forward has hinted that a move to Rennes appeals to him over any other side, which could spell disappointment for Arsenal and Tottenham.
“I hope I will be at Rennes. For the moment, I am with Amiens and I will give my all as long as I am here,” Guirassy said, when asked which club he wanted to join.
Spurs are thought to consider Guirassy as a potential addition to their squad, as they seek more cover for Harry Kane up-front.
Tottenham lack alternative options for Kane in their current squad, especially after they loaned out Troy Parrott.
Arsenal, meanwhile, currently have good options in attack – but it is thought that they could make sales to raise funds.
Arsenal could part ways with Alexandre Lacazette, L’Equipe have reported, and that would have made Guirassy an appealing buy.
Guirassy scored 12 goals in Ligue 1 last season, and Le10 say that he is valued at £17.5 million.
