AS Monaco have reportedly raised their bid for Frosinone and Algeria winger Fares Ghedjemis, as Besiktas, Celtic and Glasgow Rangers struggle to keep up.
The player who turns 24 next month has been in the middle of a genuine bidding war all summer, with Frosinone comfortable in the knowledge they can hold out for a big sale.
Ghedjemis value has sky rocketed

They had already resisted proposals worth €8m in January and now his value has more than doubled thanks to the performances that took Frosinone to promotion into Serie A.
He scored 15 goals and provided three assists in 37 Serie B appearances.
Celtic and Rangers saw several bids turned down, and now the main challengers seem to be Monaco and Vincenzo Italiano’s Besiktas.
According to Belgian transfer expert Santi Aouna, Besiktas are offering better personal terms, but Ghedjemis would prefer Monaco.
Frosinone are content to sit back and let the clubs battle it out on the transfer market, as the asking price keeps going up and is now close to €20m.
