Spanish club Valencia have made a £12m offer for Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin.
West Ham and Crystal Palace are also keen and Arsenal are ready to sell him in January.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger left Coquelin out of Arsenal’s squad at Nottingham Forest on Sunday because a transfer could happen this month.
Coquelin, 26, has lost his place as a regular starter at Arsenal, wants more game time and a move would allow him to get his career back on track.
West Ham are keen to bring in a new midfielder but so far have not been able to do deals for Stoke’s Joe Allen or Newcastle’s Jonjo Shelvey.
Hammers boss David Moyes wants a midfielder to beef up his squad and Coquelin does fit the bill. West Ham are also interested in Anderlecht midfielder Leander Dendoncker.
Palace are also looking for a midfield anchorman and are interested in Coquelin with Arsenal's decision to pull him out of the FA Cup a clear indicator that a buying club would not want him cup tied.
There has also been interest in Coquelin from France but Valencia have now made a move.
Arsenal would want around £10m for Coquelin who still has three and a half years left on his contract.
