The 22-year-old has rediscovered his best form in Ligue 1, scoring five goals in his first three matches – the fastest player to reach that tally in France’s top flight since 1948.

His explosive start has made him one of Europe’s most talked-about forwards.

Spanish outlet Fichajes.net reports of the interest from the three Premier League clubs. The report claims that Newcastle see Fati as a potential attacking upgrade, while Crystal Palace view him as a creative spark to boost their wide options.

Everton are also monitoring the situation as they look to add pace and flair to their front line.

With Monaco holding an €11m option to buy and Barcelona a €28m buy-back clause, Fati’s future looks set for another dramatic twist.
