According to le10sport, four clubs have now joined the race for Reims striker Boulaye Dia after Arsenal and West Ham dithered in January.
France Football revealed last month that the Hammers were keen on the 24-year-old.
However, the east Londoners weren’t willing to pay £12 million for the 3-cap Senegal international and walked away from the deal.
Le10sport revealed that Arsenal and Everton were also keen on Dia, but they dithered and never made their interest concrete.
Now, if the Premier League trio are planning to move for him this summer, the transfer has seemingly become a whole lot harder to pull off.
Le10sport are saying that AC Milan, Marseille, Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt have all joined the race for the in-form attacker.
All of these clubs are fairly big names, while AC Milan are a footballing giant and could offer Dia European football.
It is unknown whether Arsenal, West Ham and Everton are still interested in the Oyonnax-born forward.
However, if they are, they’ll be kicking themselves that they didn’t strike a deal in January when there were fewer clubs interested in Dia.
The Reims talisman is enjoying a fine season, having netted 12 goals in 23 Ligue 1 appearances.
He is just four goals away from matching top scorer Kylian Mbappe’s tally of 16, in what has been an excellent campaign so far.
