report that PSG are posied to swoop during the January window, although the player is open to joining a Premier League club.

They say that City and Reds have scouted Seri, 26, on several occasions but have yet to table an offer.

He was on the radar of Barcelona in the summer, who came in with a £35million bid.

But Nice rejected the bid to the annoyance of the player.

Arsenal have also monitored his progress and could enter the fray after the arrival of Raul Sanllehli as head of football operations.

Barca's ex-sporting director was said to have been disappointed by the Catalan giants' failure to land Seri.

The player started his career in his homeland with ASEC Mimosas before moving to Portuguese side Pacos de Ferreira, following a stint with Porto's B team.

Nice snapped him up in 2015 for around £750,000, with Seri appearing in almost every Ligue 1 match since.

The club are currently sixth in the French top flight and enjoying a resurgence after their early-season troubles, thanks to 10 goals in 13 games from Mario Balotelli.
