Crystal Palace and West Ham United are reportedly the frontrunners in the race to sign Bologna left-back Adam Masina.
According to The Sun, Masina is considering a move to the Premier League, with Palace and the Hammers both interested in his services.
The newspaper also says that both clubs have had bids rejected by the Serie A side, who value Masina at £15m.
Palace boss Roy Hodgson is determined to find cover for his injury-plagued squad, and has allegedly identified 24-year-old Masina as a replacement for Jeffrey Schlupp, who was sidelined earlier this month.
Meanwhile, West Ham boss David Moyes is understood to be keen to provide competition for Aaron Cresswell, who currently occupies the position at the London Stadium.
Masina, a Moroccan-born full-back, is widely regarded as one of Serie A's most consistent at the back this season.
