Amid a breakout season for Marseille, pacey young winger Georges-Kevin N'Koudou has predictably attracted the interest of several Premier League sides looking to bolster their ranks during the January transfer window.

Scouts from several English sides traveled to France to watch Marseille's 1-1 draw with Lyon on Sunday, with representatives from West Ham, Manchester United, and Liverpool in attendance, according to The Guardian's Ed Aarons.

Marseille are set for a massive profit, valuing the diminutive Paris Saint-Germain academy product at a reported €20 million on the heels of the 20-year-old joining the club in the summer from Nantes for a meager €1 million.

The Versailles-born youngster joined Marseille on a five-year deal in June and has featured in 16 of the club's 22 Ligue 1 matches this season and five times in the Europa League.

N'Koudou has eight goals paired with four assists in all competitions for mid-table Olympique, combining with fellow coveted asset Michy Batshuayi to form one of Europe's top young attacking tandems.
