Newcastle United and West Ham United are both being linked with Djibril Sidibe.
According to France Football, Monaco right back Djibril Sidibe is tempted by a move to England after interest from a number of clubs.
Their report suggests that Crystal Palace and West Ham United are keen to land Sidibe, whilst RMC Sport believe Newcastle United have already started talks.
Sidibe, 26, is now thought to be tempted by a move to England, though has no preference about the club as things stand.
Having spent his entire career in France with Troyes, Lille and Monaco, it’s no great surprise that he now feels this is the right time to try something different.
Sidibe endured a difficult season with Monaco as they struggled in in Ligue 1, but he did win the World Cup with France last summer.
Available for €15million (£13.5million), Sidibe could be a bargain if a team can get him back to his best form, and he still has plenty of years left in him at 26.
West Ham do have two right backs in Ryan Fredericks and Pablo Zabaleta, whilst the same can be said at Newcastle with DeAndre Yedlin and Javi Manquilo.
Either side would seemingly feel that Sidibe is a major upgrade on what they already have, and at £13.5million, you can see why they may be tempted to pursue a potential bargain – and a real battle could ensue for his services.
