He apparently also interest Everton and Swansea who have but all three have looked at the France-born striker who represents Mali at international level and who has managed to find the net 20 times during the current campaign.

Porton are very unlikely to get that sort of fee and it would seen that around £25 million wouild be the sort of figure that he would probably go for.

Marega is said to fancy a move to England but Porto would be determined to drive a hard bargain for a player who could solve the Irons right sided midfield issue.
