Le Havre prospect Ferland Mendy made his L2 debut on the weekend.

Mendy, 19, is regarded highly at Le Havre and will keep his place for tonight's clash with Nimes.

Foot Mercato says interested clubs from across Europe have requested tickets for the game so scouts can make a check on Mendy.

Sampdoria, Stoke City, Braga, Standard Liege and Basle will all have scouts in attendance for Le Havre's meeting with Nimes.

Mendy, a defender, admits he bases his game on Barcelona fullback Daniel Alves and playing in England is a future ambition.
