West Ham are imminently set to submit a bid for Montpellier hitman Gaetan Laborde according to a report from Midi Libre.

Foot Mercato claimed on Thursday night that the Hammers are interested in the 27-year-old forward.
And with time ticking down, it seems as though West Ham could be set to firm up said interest in the Frenchman.
David Moyes desperately needs to bring some more competition and cover for Michail Antonio at the London Stadium. And the Scot may well have the man for the job in his sights.
West Ham Laborde bid imminent
The 27-year-old is on the Hammers’ radar. And a bid from the 27-year-old could be incoming in the next few days according to a report from Midi Libre.
The Montpellier ace is an extremely hard-working attacker. He’s very strong too.
Laborde has similar attributes to Antonio and he would certainly provide adequate cover for the 31-year-old. His arrival at the London Stadium would help to keep Michy on his toes as well.
At the moment, Antonio knows he will play week-in, week-out. Moyes bringing Laborde to the club will change that.
L’Equipe (Print edition May 28th, page 8) claimed that the 27-year-old could be available for around £11 million this summer.
That seems like very good value for the Montpellier striker.
