Racing 92 and France star centre Virimi Vakatawa could move to the Premiership next summer according to a report in The Rugby Paper.
Vakatawa's contract with Racing 92 comes to an end next summer and according to the report, he is is assessing his options.
A star at the World Cup in Japan, Vakatawa was the Top 14’s leading scorer in 2019 with 13 tries and has been one of Racing 92's star men in both the Champions Cup and TOP14.
Vakatawa is close friends with Bristol Bear's new star recruit Semi Radradra and could join his fellow Fijian at Ashton Gate after seeing how Radradra is enjoying playing in the Premiership.
The Rugby Paper states that Northampton Saints, Bath, and Gloucester have all expressed an interest in adding the 28-year-old centre to their payroll.
The Paper also suggest the French International as a replacement for Manu Tuilgai if the England star opts to leave Sale after his one-year deal.
