Fiorentina are showing interest in Lille attacking winger Jonathan Ikone, but face competition from Borussia Dortmund.

The 23-year-old plays primarily on the right wing, but can also work on the left or in a trequartista role behind the strikers.

He has four senior caps for France, scoring one goal, and is fresh from winning the Ligue 1 title with LOSC.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, Fiorentina are in contact with Lille to discuss the asking price, but have not yet made a formal offer.

If the Viola do propose a deal for Ikone, they face stiff competition, as Borussia Dortmund consider him to be an ideal replacement for Jadon Sancho, who officially made the transfer to Manchester United today.

The asking price is a minimum of €30m and that too might be outside of Fiorentina’s budget at this moment in time.

Ikone contributed seven goals and seven assists in 48 competitive appearances for Lille last season.
