Charlton Athletic are reportedly leading the race to sign Sevilla striker Kepa Blanco.
The 22-year-old Spaniard is looking to quit the La Liga leaders after falling down the pecking order this season.
The availability of the former Spain Under-21 international has alerted a number of clubs across Europe including the Premiership strugglers, according to Sevilla sporting director Ramon Rodriguez Monchi.
"French clubs, English clubs and German clubs have shown an interest in Kepa and one of those clubs is Charlton Athletic," he is quoted as saying.
"We have not taken a decision yet, but all could be sorted later today (Wednesday)."
Blanco has scored three goals in nine league appearances for Sevilla this season.
