West Ham United have turned their attention to Alexandre Lacazette’s strike partner, with The Sun claiming that the Hammers have made a £20 million offer for Nabil Fekir.
The London club are in the market for new players before a move to the Olympic Stadium, with Ligue 1 seemingly a potential source of recruits.
Slaven Bilic’s men have had an offer of £31 million rejected for hotshot forward Lacazette and instead are ready to raid Lyon for another of their star names.
Fekir is a fellow France international and is regarded as one of the brightest young prospects in the national game.
A skilful second striker, much of Lacazette’s opportunities to score for the French club are made possible by Fekir’s creativity and vision.
Although not the out-and-out centre forward that the Hammers fans crave, the gifted playmaker would be another exceptionally talented attacking midfielder alongside Dimitri Payet and Manuel Lanzini in the West Ham ranks.
