His finishing and maturity has caught the attention of Europe's elite. The likes of Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal, to name but a few, have been courting the youngster.
Though should AS Monaco ultimately succumb to a mega offer, they'll have a nice transfer kitty to find a replacement.
And reports are surfacing claiming the French outfit are eyeing up a Premier League striker. According to ESPN, AS Monaco want Stoke City starlet Julien Ngoy.
