Fulham and Stoke set to miss out on Saint-Etienne full-back

Lille are heading the queue to land Stoke City and Fulham target Faouzi Ghoulam.

The Ligue 1 side are preparing for life without Lucas Digne, who is expected to join Paris St-Germain this summer, despite interest from Liverpool.

And Lille are now chasing Ghoulam, who has spent his entire career at Saint-Etienne.

The 22-year-old has racked up 70 league outings since making his Ligue 1 bow back in 2010, and he has already appeared three times at senior level for Algeria.

L'Equipe claim Saint-Etienne have already rejected two offers for the full-back from Torino, while Fulham and Stoke both monitored him earlier this year.
