St Etienne are eyeing Leicester City midfielder Nampalys Mendy.
Le 10 Sport says ASSE are interested in the 27 year-old, who is available from the Foxes.
The former Nice and Monaco midfielder knows he faces a battle for regular first team football next season and is open to a return to France.
ASSE are in the market for a new midfielder and Mendy fits the bill.
A first approach is now being prepared for Mendy, knowing Leicester are willing to sell.
