West Ham are poised to sign Maxwel Cornet from Burnley after meeting his £17.5m release clause. The Ivory Coast forward has also been a target for Everton, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.
Cornet became a priority target for West Ham after Filip Kostic, another left-sided player, indicated he was reluctant to join from Eintracht Frankfurt. Cornet signed for Burnley from Lyon last August and scored nine goals and set up another in the Premier League last season.
