Reports have surfaced claiming that AS Roma coach Rudi Garcia is ready to go back to Lille to replace Erik Lamela.
Argentine international Lamela is set to sign for Tottenham this week and Garcia sees Florian Thauvin as an ideal replacement.
Garcia worked with Thauvin at Lille last season after overseeing his arrival in January from Bastia.
Premier League side Arsenal and French giants Olympique Marseille are also interested in the young winger.
