Premier League clubs are keeping tabs on Tomas Necid's new contract talks with CSKA Moscow.
The Czech Republic international centre-forward has been linked with Liverpool, Everton and Tottenham.
Necid is seeking a 50 per cent pay-hike on his €1 million salary, which CSKA are unwilling to match.
His agent, Jiri Muller, told Izvestia: "The leaders of the club believe that Tomas deserves a certain amount of salary that does not suit us. I have the impression that they just do not want to see him at the club.
"If CSKA will not increase the offer, we will have no choice but to leave the club."
