Aruna Dindane has declared his will to play in the Premier League, alerting former admirers Stoke, Sunderland, Hull and Wigan.
Dindane, 28, is currently contracted to Lens but has stated he has the presidents permission to move should a club meet the clubs valuation.
The African hitman has mainly been deployed on the wing in recent years and his pace has earnt many plaudits.
A cruciate knee ligament injury wrecked his season in 2008/9 and he could only play towards the end of the season but regained his fitness, playing the full 90 minutes in each of the French sides last 3 games.
The Potters were linked with the player last summer before his injury ruled out any move and, with him apparently eager for a move to the Premier League it would appear Stoke have a great chance to jump to the front of the queue should they decide to go after the pacey star again.
Stoke manager Tony Pulis has recently stated he would like a striker with a bit of extra pace to cover last seasons top scorer Ricardo Fuller and whilst Dindane would fight it out with the Potters Jamaican star he could also challenge Liam Lawrence for the right wing berth.
A fee of around £5m is being banded about as what Lens are asking for.
