Lille’s Thiago Mendes is reportedly on the radar of Southampton, Everton and Paris Saint-Germain.
It has been reported that Everton are looking at 26-year-old midfielder Mendes as a possible replacement for Idrissa Gueye in the January transfer window.
The report has claimed that Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain are interested in securing the services of 23-year-old defensive midfielder Gueye.
According to Telefoot, PSG are also interested in signing Mendes from Lille in the summer transfer window
Tough for Southampton
With Southampton in real danger of getting relegated from the Premier League at the end of the season, it is hard to see the Saints attracting a player of Mendes’s quality, especially with PSG and Everton reportedly interested in the central midfielder.
The 26-year-old made 27 starts and four appearances in Ligue 1 for Lille last season, scoring three goals and providing four assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
So far this campaign, the central midfielder has provided one assist in 17 league matches for Lille, according to WhoScored.
