Rennes have denied that a deal is in place for Paris Saint-Germain striker Mevlut Erding, though have admitted wanting to take the player from the Parc des Princes.

Talk from France had suggested that the deal was done, but Rennes’ sporting director Pierre Dreossi has denied that.

"I do not know where these rumours came from or the amounts that were announced", said Dreossi.



"If there is a possibility we will try to bring in a striker before the end of the transfer window.

"Erding is an interesting player, but there are others."

Dreossi’s words could give encouragement to Lille and Saint-Etienne, as both have been linked with the Turkish striker.
