Meanwhile, fellow Frenchman Yann M'Vila could be making his way to the Premier League to play alongside Loic Remy, and Blackpool have barred phone calls from Liverpool over Tom Ince.

Florent Malouda appears to have outstayed his welcome at Chelsea, with a report in The Sun newspaper claiming the club are willing to release the forward for free in order to get his wages off their books.

Malouda currently earns £75,000 per week, and will likely need to lower his demands to complete a move in January.

Following their capture of Loic Remy, QPR are hot on the heels of another Frenchman in the form of Yann M'Vila of Rennes.

Liverpool have been keen on the 20-year-old for some time, with a deal seeming imminent in recent months.
