Southampton, West Ham and Crystal Palace have asked about £7m-rated Lille midfielder Idrissa Gueye.

Gueye was one of the stand-out performers for the French side as they finished in a respectable eighth place.

The Senegalese international is also wanted by teams in France as the race for his signature hots up.

The Saints are thought to be looking for midfield replacements with Morgan Schneiderlin confirming he would like to move to a team playing Champions League football.

Without a manager, it would seem difficult for West Ham to be able to strike a quick deal until they get someone at the helm.

Alan Pardew is likely to invest heavily in the summer and with Mile Jedinak attracting interest - a move for Gueye would seem likely.

The Senegalese international is valued at £7million by his club but also has interest in France
