The exciting winger is attracting attention from West Ham United and Crystal Palace, according to reports.
According to the Sun, Crystal Palace have joined West Ham in the race to sign Saint-Étienne ace Jonathan Bamba, with Roy Hodgson thought to be keen on bolstering his options in the wide attacking areas.
Hodgson has worked wonders since taking over at Selhurst Park earlier on this season, but his team are far from safe from the threat of relegation to the Championship, with just one point separating them from the drop zone.
In order to attract someone like Bamba to the club, retaining their Premier League status will be of paramount importance.
The Sun claim that the Eagles want to bring the exciting 21-year-old to the club in the summer on a free transfer, with his contract set to expire with Saint-Étienne in just four months time.
Bamba has been in fine form so far this season, chipping in with six goals and four assists in 22 Ligue 1 outings for Saint-Étienne, and he would fit perfectly into Palace’s high-octane attacking style.
The south London outfit will face plenty of competition for the young Frenchman’s signature, however, due to the fact that he will be available on a free transfer in the summer.
