The Ghana winger Andre Ayew is wanted by five top-flight clubs in the English Premier League on a free next summer.
Ayew has edged closer to a Premier League move by rejecting Olympique Marseille’s latest contract offer.
Liverpool, Everton, Swansea, Hull and West Ham are all keen and are watching developments.
Ayew plans to run down his deal in France in order to seal a dream switch.
Marseille are refusing to break their wage structure keep the 24-year-old, who wants £50,000 a week.
But he knows he can earn that bumper salary if he quits to cross the English Channel on a Bosman next year.
