The 23-year-old French wide player has emerged as a priority signing for Martin O’Neill as Monday’s 11pm transfer deadline looms.
Ghedjemis has scored eight goals and added two assists in Italy’s Serie B this season for his club side who are determined to get top dollar for their hottest property.
The Hoops are haggling over the asking price and are trying to negotiate a lower fee, according to Sky Sports.
