The Ivory Coast international has been tipped to leave Stade Bollaert this summer after les Sang et Or were relegated from the top tier last season.
Nice were among a host of French clubs to express interest in the 27-year-old, with Saint-Etienne and Olympique Lyonnais also reported to be monitoring his situation.
But the last week or so has seen a number of Premier League sides enter the race for the ex-Anderlecht man, and
News of the World claims Manchester City, Portsmouth and Fulham are setting the pace.
City must be considered the favourites given their superior financial backing, although Pompey can offer European football thanks to their FA Cup win last season.
However, the recent arrivals of Jo at Eastlands and Peter Crouch at Fratton Park may tilt Dindane towards Craven Cottage, where his chances of first-team football would be significantly greater.
Whoever does snare the former Belgian League winner will have to wait until October to make use of their purchase, however, as he is currently recovering from a knee operation.
