West Ham United are ready to make a move for Toulouse striker Wissam Ben Yedder after his proposed transfer to Sevilla fell through, according to Get Football News France.

The Hammers are desperately trying to sign a new forward that can score them 20+ goals in the Premier League next season but have found the going tough in the transfer market.

A host of big names have either moved elsewhere or spurned the London club over the last couple of months, with plenty of transfer rumours in the process.

Ben Yedder has impressed for boyhood club Toulouse over a number of seasons and is regarded highly in France.

The 25-year-old was reportedly on the way to Sevilla before new boss Jorge Sampaoli pulled the plug on the deal.

The decision could well be to West Ham’s gain, with the Hammers linked with a move for the attacker that netted 17 Ligue 1 goals last season.
