Kevin Malcuit is leaning towards quitting St Etienne at the end of the season.
The versatile defender has been linked with a move to England this summer, where West Ham and Newcastle United are keen.
With Newcastle securing promotion this week, the race for Malcuit's signature is only going to intensify.
France Football says the Frenchman is in contact with both English clubs - and ASSE are willing to sell for €8-10 million.
