Ryan is the nephew of former Everton star Ibrahima Bakayoko and is now making waves on the south coast of France as he progresses with his career.
The 19-year-old is currently playing for Montpellier’s second string in the National 2 league, where he has clocked an impressive eight goals in eleven matches.
His displays have now put him on the radar of Brighton and Lazio, according to French outlet Foot Mercato.
Another French side are also keen on Ryan, but their identity is yet to be known.
The attacker has yet to train with Montpellier’s senior team and is out of contract at the end of the season.
Ryan spent time in the youth ranks at Nimes before making the move to Montpellier.
Should he continue his progress with Montpellier’s B team then he is likely to have a host of offers on his table by the summer.
