Rumour raterWest Ham are in contact with Anthony Modeste’s agents according to media reports in France today.

According to French magazine Le 10 Sport, the club have already made contact with the player’s agents.

The Frenchman made a total of 36 appearances across all competitions for German team FC Koln last season and scored 18 goals in the process, a return which has caught West Ham’s scouts attention.

Chinese Super League club Beijing Guoan are expected to submit a highly lucrative proposal to the striker very soon so the Hammers will have to act quickly to have a chance.

Modeste’s contract with Koln runs until the summer of 2019 and he is considered a key man at the Bundesliga club. He is seen as an ideal replacement for Diafra Sakho should he leave.

Rumour Rating 5/10

    I remember he played a few games for Blackburn when they got relegated in 2011/12.

    Can’t really say that I’ve seen enough of him to say he is any good. I see he was one of the top scorers in Germany so he can’t be that bad. Then again Papiss Cissé came with a similar record from Germany and look where he is now.

    Hard to tell from that clip how good he might be, certainly likes a header or two, perhaps he is the replacement for Carroll who is nearly always injured.
