West Ham are reportedly in talks with Reims over the transfer of striker Hugo Ekitike.
The 19-year-old attacker was heavily linked with a move to Newcastle United earlier in the transfer window, but the two sides could not come to an agreement over money and the breakdown of the potential fee.
It is understood that Reims would require an offer in excess of £25 million to sell Ekitike before the end of the month with Sky Sports reporting that West Ham are in talks with the French outfit.
