Gomis has featured regularly for the Ligue 2 outfit this season and has two goals and two assists to his name.

His performance has drawn attention for several European outfits, including Premier League side Aston Villa.

Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig have been rivalling Villa, with AC Milan also interested in him and the German outfit are pushing to sign him.

Gomis has six months left on his contract and it is suggested that the player will join Leipzig in the summer when it runs out.

Aston Villa could continue to monitor him after he has moved to Germany.
