According to ESPN FC, Hull City and Olympique Marseille are lining up last minute bids for Aston Villa striker Jordan Ayew.
The two clubs have up until Wednesday midnight to land their transfer target.
Ayew wants to play top-tier football to boost his international career but his club are unwilling to sell the Ghana forward.
But the Villains could be tempted to sell the 24-year-old for around £11 million.
It is understood that brining in a new striker is among the top priorities of English Premier League side Hull.
Ayew’s former club Marseille, who are on the verge of being taken over by American businessman Frank H. McCourt Jr., are looking to improve their squad as they aim to transform their fortunes.
