ILIMAN NDIAYE struggling to get a game at Marseille is putting Prem clubs on alert for a loan bid.
The Senegal forward, 23, moved from Sheffield United in the summer but has started only eight times in Ligue Un.
Blades are among those keeping an eye on his situation in France but others including Crystal Palace and Everton are also keen.
Ndiaye, 23, was signed by Marseille for a reported fee of £20million.
But he has only scored once for the Ligue Un side, who could be prepared to cut their losses.
The striker made a name for himself at Blades and was a key part of Paul Heckingbottom's promotion winning side last season.

He scored 22 goals in 88 games for Sheffield United including 14 in the Championship last season as his side clinched second spot.
Meanwhile Marseille are reportedly keen on strengthening their squad by signing Arsenal star Fabio Vieira.
The Portuguese has failed to win a regular spot in Mikel Arteta's starting line-up since his move from Porto last year.
Marseille and Arsenal have a history of doing business together with the likes of Matteo Guendouzi, William Saliba and Nuno Tavares all moving between the clubs.

Everton were linked with a move for Ndiaye earlier this year prior to his switch to France.
The likes of Newcastle and West Ham are also believed to have sent scouts to watch him in the past.
