Pascal Feindouno

Jean Tigana is believed to be a big fan of the 19-year-old Bordeaux striker and will check the player out when the Cottagers face the French club in a friendly on Friday night.

Although Feindouno has been unable to establish himself in Bordeaux's first team plans, he is regarded as a fine prospect for the future.

Tigana, whose team have won all nine of their First Division games this season, already has three French forwards in his squad - Louis Saha, Luis Boa Morte and Fabrice Fernandes.
