Watford and Newcastle United are being credited with an interest in the Frenchman.
Watford have had a £7 million offer for the Newcastle United target, Remi Oudin, rejected by Stade de Reims, according to The Sun.
The newspaper claims Newcastle have been locked in talks with Reims but are yet to table a bid of their own, allowing Watford to make the first move.
But it adds the French side are seeking at least £10 million for the 22-year-old, who scored or made 13 goals in 36 Ligue 1 games last season and has been dubbed ‘the new Robin van Persie’.
And Watford and Newcastle aren’t the only ones said to be keen on Oudin, with competition emerging from Fiorentina and Nice, according to The Sun.
Newcastle are looking to replace the goals scored by Salomon Rondon last season, although the West Bromwich Albion striker continues to be listed as a Magpies target.
And Watford could lose a striker of their own in Andre Gray, according to the Glasgow Evening Times.
Would Oudin be a good addition for Watford / Newcastle United?
