West Ham United allegedly want to sign Reims attacker El Bilal Toure before the transfer window slams shut tomorrow night.
That’s according to a report from 90 Min who claim that the Hammers could face competition from Everton for the talented 20-year-old’s signature.
READ…Report: West Ham have just made £13 million bid for ‘unbelievable’ 24-year-old
The 13-capped Mali international is a real talent, and he could be available for just £10 million this summer (90min).
West Ham boss David Moyes has already strengthened his centre-forward ranks at the London Stadium by signing Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo earlier on in the window.
It could be argued that the addition of another versatile attacker is needed, however, if the Hammers are to compete on all fronts this season.
West Ham eyeing El Bilal Toure swoop
90 Min claim that Hammers boss David Moyes is keen to bring the 20-year-old Reims forward to the London Stadium in a £10 million deadline day deal.
El Bilal Toure is a hugely exciting young talent and we think he’d be a fine addition for West Ham.
He has bagged nine goals and five assists in 68 senior games for Reims so far (Transfermarkt).
Hardly prolific numbers, but he is still very young indeed and his technical ability, movement and in-game football intelligence is so raw.
The fact that he’s available for only £10 million negates any kind of risk that might be associated with the transfer though.
And we would be more than happy if El Bilal Toure ends up at West Ham before the transfer window closes tomorrow night.
