Premier League clubs are following developments with Croatia international midfielder Lovro Majer at Rennes.
The 25-year old has made 49 appearances for club and country but is not starting as many games as he would like and Mail Sport understands he is open to a new challenge.
Tottenham are regulars at Rennes as they follow the progress of wing-back Djed Spence during his loan spell yet sources in France say Arsenal and Liverpool are taking a greater interest in Majer's situation.
An intelligent, technical player Majer has vast experience and played for Croatia in the World Cup, scoring in their 4-1 win over Canada.
