Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat has drawn the attention of Premier League clubs with his World Cup performances so far.
The 26-year-old has been exceptional for Morocco and has been the driving force behind their run to the semi-finals of the tournament.
Morocco will face France in the semifinals later this week and Amrabat is hoping to help his team reach the final of the competition.
The 26-year-old has also been a standout for the Italian club and was a target for Tottenham Hotspur at the start of the season.
According to a report from ReliefTottenham tried to sign the player at the beginning of the season but could not reach an agreement with Fiorentina.
The player is admired by manager Antonio Conte and it will be interesting to see if the Italian coach is willing to reignite his interest in signing the Moroccan international during the January transfer window.
The report indicates that Fiorentina will demand a fee of around €40m for the 26-year-old midfielder, and it remains to be seen if his suitors are willing to pay that amount of money for his services.

Amrabat is at the peak of his career at the moment and could be a quality signing for most Premier League clubs. Liverpool are also reportedly aware of his situation.
Both Tottenham and Liverpool need to add more quality to their midfield and the 26-year-old seems to be a perfect fit for the way Conte and Jurgen Klopp like to play. It will be interesting to see where it ends up.
Conte needs to sign a player to be able to rotate players like Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. On the other hand, Liverpool will need a starter once the likes of James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita leave the club at the expiration of their contracts.
A move to Anfield seems ideal for the player in theory.
