Hammers boss David Moyes will be desperate to bolster his centre-forward ranks at the London Stadium this summer.
The West Ham boss currently has Michail Antonio as the only recognised senior striker at his disposal.
And surprise surprise, he is currently out injured!
West Ham still chasing Boulaye Dia
When the Hammers sold Sebastien Haller to Ajax in January, we were linked with at least 30 strikers!
One of them was Stade Reims ace Boulaye Dia (Sport.fr). He ended up staying with the Ligue 1 outfit.
West Ham haven’t given up on signing the powerful 24-year-old, however (Gazzetta dello Sport).
Dia, a three-capped Senegal international, has enjoyed a fine campaign with Reims, scoring 16 goals in 35 games (Transfermarkt).
He is powerful, has explosive pace and is a real menace for opposing defenders.
West Ham quite simply just need to get this one wrapped up in the summer. Dia could be available for just £10 million (The Sun).
