Also eyeing the young forward are Ipswich Town.
The former Atalanta striker has scored nine league goals this season, including a late equaliser in a 3-3 draw at Plymouth last weekend. He also made his debut for the Ivory Coast earlier this year.
Latte Lath's manager, Matthias Veneroso, recently told TMW: "He's back to scoring. Eight goals in the first part of the championship and we expect something to happen in January.
"He's a striker and strikers are always the subject of attention in the January market."
