Premier League clubs have made contact with Sassuolo about a move for Liverpool and Leicester target Gregoire Defrel, according to the Italian club's director general.
The two English sides have been linked with the French striker throughout 2016 while Napoli are also tracking him.
Defrel, 25, has scored six goals in 13 Serie A appearances so far this term and it has been reported that Napoli are ready to firm up their interest with a January bid.
But Sassuolo director general Giovanni Carnevali insists they are yet to receive an approach from within Italy – but offers have come in from both England and Spain.
