The 24-year-old scored 15 goals to help Lille win the French league and Cup double last season.

"He has expressed a desire to go to England. We will soon have talks with them and see what they offer."

Paris St Germain have also enquired about Gervinho but Paquet does not want to "strengthen a competitor" by selling to a domestic rival.
