Rennes tracking Espanyol striker

Ligue 1 side Rennes are tracking Espanyol striker Thievy Bifouma, report Marca.

It is believed that Rennes have already had a bid of €2m rejected for the player whom Espanyol signed from Strasbourg four years ago.


Thievy has revealed that his club are asking for a fee of €4m for him.


“It’s true that I’ve spoken with their representatives,” he told Luis Fernandez’s radio programme in France.


“They have a fantastic project and it’s an interesting option for me. The Espanyol management told me before that they would sell me for €10m, but now it is €4m, so that’s good.”


The 21-year-old has made 11 La Liga appearances for Los Pericos this term, scoring three times.
