Premiership interest is mounting in French star Rod
Fanni.
The Nice full-back has a host of clubs in his homeland tracking
him, but he has his heart set on a move to England - although
Celtic are also believed to be admirers.
Rennes are leading the chase in France with Monaco and Paris Saint
Germain also interested.
However, the player's agent Dominique Six has told skysports.com
that his charge has his heart set on a move across the
Channel.
"He wants to move to England," he told the website.
"He is very content in France and has three offers, but he really
wants to play in England."
Six feels that Fanni is better placed to succeed in the Premier
League than Bakari Sagna - who has just completed a move to
Arsenal.
"Fanni is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in France
and the is the quickest.
"If Sagna moves to England for some 9 million, then Fanni for me
would be a wonderful bargain."
Newcastle are one of the clubs said to be interested in Fanni and
Six admits that Sam Alladryce is aware of him.
"Allardyce knows about him, I am due in England next week and we
will be looking to meet with Newcastle," he said.
Six also represents Franck Queudrue - who is set to leave Fulham,
and he will be another name being discussed with Newcastle,
although a number of clubs are know to be interested.
"Everyone in England knows about Franck, and what he can do," he
added.
