Report: Hammers AGAIN linked to striker

|

West Ham will cast an eye on developments at French giants Lyon as they prepare to sell striker Moussa Dembele.

Alan Nixon writing in the Sun  claims Moyes is a big fan of the former Celtic striker, who is frustrated with being left on the bench recently in France.

The 24 year old could be open to a second crack at English football after cutting his teeth at Fulham in his younger days.

And insiders claim Lyon are now willing to sell the player, who was a regular for France’s Under-21s.

However, the price on Dembele’s head will still be a problem for any Premier League suitors, which also include Manchester United. Lyon could be persuaded by a bid from about £30million but which goes higher with bonuses.

Dembele has been continuously linked with the Hammers since 2016 although in 2017 David Sullivan denied he had made a £20m for the then Celtic striker.

The striker joined Celtic from Fulham on a free transfer in 2016, he joined Lyon in August 2018 for 22 million Euros and has a contract until June 2023 at the French club.
