Crystal Palace and Wolves have asked about Birmingham City midfielder Jordan James, 19.
Atalanta had an offer around £3million rejected for James who Birmingham value at £10m.
James has been one of the few Blues players to impress during what has been a turbulent campaign that saw Wayne Rooney sacked after just 15 games in charge.
The 19-year-old was used primarily from the bench at the start of the season but has started eight of Birmingham's last nine Championship games.
The Welshman has six goals to his name in 14 starts in this second tier of English football this term.
