West Ham are ‘pressing the hardest’ of any of the Premier League clubs’ interested in Celtic ace Moussa Dembele as they look to continue their summer spending, reports the Daily Express.
Arsenal and Chelsea are amongst those interested in the Frenchman, but it is West Ham who are most keen to sign the striker who scored an impressive 32 times last season for Brendan Rodger’s side.
Dembele has been heavily linked with a move away from Scotland this summer after his terrific debut campaign, and manager Rodgers said despite wanting to keep hold of the player, he would ‘assess any offers’ that do come in for the former Fulham forward.
West Ham have already had a busy summer, making four signings in the form of Pablo Zabaleta, Joe Hart, Marko Arnautovic and most recently Javier Hernandez, who joined the Hammers in a £16 million deal from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.
Despite their business however, it is believed the Hammers are not done, and are expected to make one or two more signings before the season starts in August.
