Lens teenager William Bianda has allegedly moved to the brink of sealing a transfer to Roma.
The 18-year-old was only promoted to the first-team setup late last year but has already made eight appearances for the Ligue 2 side.
However, according to Sport Italia journalist Alfredo Pedulla, Roma have been impressed with Bianda's potential and are prepared to pay over £3m for his signature.
Bianda still has just over two years remaining on his contract but with Lens showing no signs of regaining their place in France's top flight, the club may look to cash in on the player.
The youngster has already represented France at Under-18 level.
