Jonathan Pitroipa, who has been with Rennes since 2011, may be leaving the club and Ligue 1 during the upcoming winter transfer window. The Burkina Faso international, who performed well during the African Cup of Nations and the World Cup qualifiers, is attracting interest from Premier League clubs. Southampton is reportedly keen on signing the 27-year-old winger, and the club’s representatives were present at the Rennes vs. Saint-Etienne match on the 16th day to assess his performance. Pitroipa’s contract with Rennes is set to expire in June 2015.
