Nice are reportedly preparing a SIXTH bid for West Ham United transfer target Terem Moffi, as the race for his signature heats up.

That’s according to a report from Foot Mercato who claim that West Ham’s bid for the 23-year-old forward is still the largest that Lorient have received.

However, Moffi would prefer to stay in France and join Nice from Lorient. The problem for him is that Nice will obviously prefer to sell to the highest bidder. And at the moment, that’s the Hammers.

Now, Nice are desperate to get their man. They need a new striker with Andy Delort set to leave to join Nantes (GFFN).

Sixth bid on the way for Terem Moffi

Foot Mercato claim that the 23-year-old is a target for Nice and the Ligue 1 outfit are preparing a sixth offer for him – this time worth €23 million (£20 million).

West Ham surely have to do all they can to get Moffi, he’s absolutely perfect for us.

He is exactly what we need and would be the perfect long-term replacement for Michail Antonio – but a much better version!

The Nigerian has pace and power in abundance, and is a very good finisher as well.

He is perfectly equipped to succeed in the Premier League, so the Hammers just need to make this one happen asap.

Unfortunately for us, it seems as though Nice are determined to get their man.

It remains to be seen whether their sixth bid for Terem Moffi will be accepted by Lorient though.
