West Ham United submitted a bid worth £20million to sign Lorient striker Terem Moffi earlier this week, rising to £25m in potential add-ons.
The 23-year-old has had an impressive season in Ligue 1, with 12 league goals making him the division’s joint top scorer, just one goal behind Paris Saint-Germain star and 2022 World Cup golden boot winner Kylian Mbappe.
Reports have suggested that Moffi is keen to stay in France, with Nice said to be interested in him. A lot of change is going on at present in West Ham’s forward line, with Danny Ings close to joining the Hammers from Aston Villa and Michail Antonio linked with interest from both Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton.
