Plenty of players in the French league are being linked with moves away to foreign lands this summer.
The Ligue 1 exodus is being driven by a footballing financial crisis in France The Athletic claims.
And that may well open the door for Hammers boss David Moyes to bring one of his long-term targets to the London Stadium this summer.
West Ham were were persistently linked with a move to sign the 24-year-old hitman in January (Sport.fr).
And then Area Napoli claimed back in May that the East London outfit reignited their interest in the Senegal international.
Boulaye Dia door open for West Ham amidst French football crisis?
The Athletic claims that the Hammers could take advantage of a financial crisis in France by snapping up the 24-year-old striker.
Reims are allegedly now ready to sell Dia.
We think that the Senegalese ace would be a fine addition to Moyes’s ranks.
He is powerful, has explosive pace and is a real menace for opposing defenders.
Dia has enjoyed a fine campaign with Reims, scoring 16 goals in 37 games (Transfermarkt).
The 24-year-old seems to be ideally suited to the robust nature of the Premier League. And he could be available for just £13 million this summer according to a report from Area Napoli.

Dia would certainly add a lot to West Ham’s attacking play. Signing the Senegalese ace for just £13 million seems like an absolute no-brainer for Moyes.
And it seems as though Reims’ financial situation will give us a huge helping hand in bringing Dia to the London Stadium this summer.
