West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic is set to have a stringent eye on this summer’s Euro 2016 tournament, with potential additions to his squad being scouted at the competition in France according to Claret and Hugh.

The Hammers are busy truing to improve the playing personnel before a move to the Olympic Stadium this summer, with a host of new players being linked with a move to the London club.

A deal for Turkish attacker Gokhan Tore is believed to be close to completion, however nothing has been confirmed by the club officially as yet.

An insider has stated that assuming Tore will sign is short-sighted while Bilic has a number of select targets that will feature at Euro 2016.

“That’s just guesswork and not very inspired,” he said.

“The manager has one or two targets and will be in France to watch them.”

West Ham’s priority this summer is a new centre forward, but Bilic is also expected to sign a winger and at least one right-back, which would boost the squad’s depth before a busy 2016-17.
