Arsenal, Newcastle and Real Madrid have also posted interest.
So Bournemouth have been busy looking for another defensive gem to potentially fill the void and have enquired about 6ft 3ins Zeze who has been capped by France at U21 level.
The 19-year old has attracted interest from clubs in Italy, such as Inter and Atalanta, plus Stuttgart in Germany as well as the Premier League with Crystal Palace also linked.
However, Palace are understood to be looking elsewhere as they brace themselves for offers for Marc Guehi who continues to be of interest to Newcastle, Chelsea and Manchester City.
