West Ham United are chasing Carlos Bacca and Wissam Ben Yedder as Slaven Bilic looks to transform his front line in time for next season.

There has been a lot of coverage on the Hammers’ interest in Colombian international Carlos Bacca but now there is another surprising name that has entered the striker hunt in the form of Ben Yedder.

Reliable source ExWHUemployee hinted at West Ham’s interest in Toulouse teammates Martin Braithwaite and Wissam Ben Yedder today and with David Sullivan currently in the south of France, there have been suggestions that the West Ham co-owner could be negotiating a potential double deal for both players.

West Ham have a healthy relationship with agent Mark McKay and his links with both Toulouse players could be key to a deal being struck. The agent was pivotal in bringing Dimitri Payet to East London last summer and he could play a key role in West Ham’s transfer activity this summer as well.

Talks are expected to go ahead between Bacca and West Ham on Tuesday as Slaven Bilic looks to sign his first marquee forward of the summer.

Meanwhile, talks over a potential deal for Ben Yedder may have happened in the past few days. Dave Sullivan, the son of Sullivan senior has also alluded to West Ham’s negotiations in the south of France.

Ben Yedder has been a consistent performer in Ligue 1, possessing excellent dribbling and finishing skills that has made him a real fan favourite at Toulouse. If West Ham can wrap up the signings of Bacca, Braithwaite and Ben Yedder, they will possess a healthy number of very talented forwards next season.
