Rennes Look To Sinama-Pongolle

Recreativo Huelva's forward Florent Sinama-Pongolle remains one of the most sought after forwards for French clubs. PSG and Saint-Étienne have already had their interest in the player well documented but Rennes are also believed to have joined the list of Ligue 1 suitors.

The Réunion-born 23 year-old scored 10 times for Recreativo last season but has previously enjoyed success in Ligue 1. Le Havre was the quick forward's first senior club and where he attracted the attention of Liverpool, who subsequently signed him.

Although relatively unsuccessful in England, the player found a new lease of life in Spain. Sinama-Pongolle could also choose to remain on the Iberian peninsula as Valencia, Real Zaragoza and Atletico Madrid have all expressed an interest in the player.

Jimmy Briand, a similar kind of player, has spearheaded Rennes' attack this season but has failed to progress a great deal after initially looking a great prospect for the Bretons.

The former French under-21 international has been linked with a move to Monaco adding credence to the potential arrival of Sinama-Pongolle at the Stade Route de Lorient.

Monaco, who are also thought to be interested in midfielder Fabrice Abriel of Lorient, are desperately short of forwards and badly need to increase both their depth and quality in that particular area of the field.
