that Saint Etienne and Lyon are vying for the signature of Odense BK defender Mohammed Diarra.
The Rhone rivals have been alerted of the player s potential and they will attempt to lure him back to France in the summer transfer window.
Diarra began his professional career at Paris Saint-Germain, where he made a total of 52 appearances for the reserve side, scoring 5 goals in the process.
He moved to Odense BK in the summer of 2012 and has since impressed in Denmark s top flight, featuring in 34 league games.
The full-back, who can play on either flank and even operate as a holding midfielder, seems to have done enough to catch the eye of France s top clubs.
Diarra, 21, has made a total of four appearances for Guinea in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers and scored his first international goal in a 6-1 triumph over Mozambique.
