It’s being claimed that Newcastle, Watford and West Brom are also keen on the 22 year old Cameroon midfielder who has had a top season with the Ligue 1 club.
David Moyes is likely to get linked with any amount of midfielders between now and the summer but Anguissa is very much in the fame it seems.
He has played a big role in helping his team to within a point of second-placed Monaco, giving themselves a great chance of Champions League football next season.
Struggling West Brom are said to have had a £13million offer rejected for the powerful ball-winner during the past year and will be out of the race completely should they – as looks probable – drop into the Championship.
Meanwhile the Hammers, Toon and Hornets are joining the race and are watching him regularly.
