West Ham are weighing up a £13.5 million offer for Montpellier star Ryad Boudebouz as Slaven Bilic looks to complete his summer spending, report L’Equipe.

The Hammers have already signed a number of proven Premier League players in the form of Pablo Zabaleta, Joe Hart, Marko Arnautovic and most recently former Manchester Untied forward Javier Hernandez, and are now looking to sign players to take the club forward over the coming years.

Boudebouz, 27, has spent his whole career in France with Sochaux, Bastia and currently Montpellier for whom he signed for in the summer of 2015, and his performances over the past year have attracted a number of suitors from across Europe, including West Ham.

The Algeria star scored 11 times in 34 appearances for the Ligue 1 outfit last season, and for West Ham, would represent a direct replacement for Dimitri Payet, who left East London for Marseille in January.

Newcastle and Real Betis are also amongst those interested in Boudebouz, who is allegedly keen to leave France.
