According to a report from Le 10 Sport, West Ham have identified Stade Reims centre-forward Boulaye Dia as a priority target after the sale of Sebastien Haller went through today.

Haller left the London Stadium today after an 18-month stint with the Hammers to link up with Ajax for around £20 million (Goal).
It is now absolutely vital for West Ham boss David Moyes to sign one if not two established goal-scorers.
The Hammers have made a fine start to the Premier League season.
We are currently sitting in 10th spot in the table, just three points adrift of fourth placed Tottenham.
If we are to maintain that impressive form, however, the West Ham board need to back Moyes this month in the transfer market.
West Ham to move in for Boulaye Dia?
Le 10 Sport claims that Stade Reims centre-forward Boulaye Dia is a target for the Hammers.
The 24-year-old could be available for around £14 million according to EN24 News.
That seems like fantastic value for West Ham.
The Senegal international has been on fire for Stade Reims this season with 10 goals in 16 Ligue 1 appearances to his name (Transfermarkt).
Boulaye Dia is a powerful centre-forward and it seems as though he has all of the ingredients needed to succeed in the Premier League.
He is mobile, possesses pace in abundance and has a real eye for goal.
£14 million for the 24-year-old seems like an absolute steal for the Hammers. Let’s just hope that David Sullivan gets this one done!
