However, Sky Sports are claiming they are prepared to sell the star this summer.

Fulham are believed to be plotting a move for the ace.

But they will face competition from a host of their Premier League rivals.

Leicester City are keen on Traore, with Everton, Newcastle and Crystal Palace.

He has played 126 times for Lyon since signing for them three years ago.

During that period he has scored 33 goals and provided 17 assists.

Traore made 16 appearances while at Chelsea, but he also enjoyed loan spells at Vitesse and Ajax. 

Fulham boss Scott Parker is desperately trying to bolster his squad ahead of their return to the top-flight.

Both Anthony Knockaert and Harrison Reed have signed permanently following loan spells.

Meanwhile Antonee Robinson has also joined from Wigan and Mario Lemina has signed on loan from Southampton.

Fulham kick-off their campaign at home to Arsenal on September 12.
