Clement Grenier is reportedly in talks with Newcastle, Everton and Fulham.
Newcastle United and two other Premier League clubs have reportedly opened talks for Guingamp midfielder Clement Grenier, just a matter of months since being linked to West Ham United.
French newspaper L’Equipe claim Newcastle, Everton and Fulham are all in talks with the 27-year-old midfielder, who scored five goals and created another four in just 16 Ligue 1 appearances from midfield last term.

A five-time France international, Grenier is said to be available for just £2.65million, but is also claimed to be interesting Italian giants AC Milan as well ass Turkish outfit Fenerbahce.
Once believed to be the next up-and-coming midfielder in French football, Grenier suffered injury-ravaged spells at Lyon and Roma before reigniting his potential at Guingamp.
With only a year remaining on his current contract, Grenier has huge interest and is said to be in talks with all three Premier League sides.
West Ham were linked with a move back in the January transfer window, and was reportedly open to a West Ham move according to RMC Sport. But instead, he chose to move to Guingamp.
The Hammers still desperately need a central midfielder after failing to lure either Jonjo Shelvey, Leander Dendoncker or Tom Cairney to the London Stadium in January.
It saw Mark Noble and Cheikhou Kouyate as the club’s only options in the middle of the park for a short time, with Pedro Obiang and Edimilson Fernandes both suffering long-term injuries last term.
It makes sense for West Ham to re-enter the market for Grenier, then, especially at the bargain price of just £2.65million.
