West Ham lodge bid for €30m Tottenham target

West Ham lodge bid for €30m Tottenham target

West Ham are set to rival Tottenham, Monaco and Bayern Munich in the race to sign star French attacker Alassane Pléa.

The 25-year-old is coming off a very strong season with Nice, scoring 16 goals in Ligue 1 and helping Mario Balotelli and Jean-Michael Seri lead Nice to another Top 10 finish.

He has a €30 million release clause, and the forward is the subject of a bid for that sum, as well as interest from Tottenham and Fulham.

He has also made 23 assists in 135 games for his club, and is liked by Newcastle.

Monaco have been particularly interested in him, but are torn between the Frenchman and Milan flop André Silva.

West Ham need to rebuild their attack this season, that’s for sure, having netted only 48 goals last season and struggling to get much going up front.
They aim to turn it around under new Coach Manuel Pellegrini.
