Former Portsmouth defender Noe Pamarot is in talks regarding a move to St Etienne, French sources have claimed.
The experienced full back, who made a name for himself while playing for Tottenham, is out of contract after his deal with Pompey concluded this season.
The Fratton Park directors opted against offering the Frenchman a new deal on the South Coast; as a consequence he is free to sign with the club of his choice.
Damien Comolli, who signed the full back during his time at White Hart Lane, is tipped to link up with Pamarot.
The 30-year-old defender is believed to be discussing personal terms with Les Verts, where he could sign shortly.
