Hammers boss David Moyes will be a very busy man in the transfer market this summer.
The Scot will undoubtedly be prioritising moves to sign a centre-forward and a central midfielder.

West Ham make Florian Thauvin offer

Thauvin joined Newcastle from Marseille in the summer of 2015 for around £12 million (Soccerbase).
He struggled at St James’ Park, however, and eventually returned to Marseille in the summer of 2017 for around £9.8 million having spent the previous season on loan at the Stade Velodrome (Soccerbase).
Thauvin has been in exceptional form over the past few seasons for the Ligue 1 outfit.
Since the start of the 2016/17 campaign, the 28-year-old has racked up 71 goals and 48 assists in 178 games for for Marseille (Transfermarkt).
