West Ham boss David Moyes will undoubtedly be keen to bolster his attacking ranks at the London Stadium this summer.
Sebastien Haller and Albian Ajeti have both failed to impress this season.

The 41-capped Iranian international would be a very good signing for West Ham.
Stats
The 25-year-old has been in fine form for Zenit over the past 14 months. In 45 appearances, he has racked up 26 goals and 10 assists (Transfermarkt).
Azmoun is very strong in their air. In 27 outings for Zenit this season, the 6ft 1in hitman has won an average of two aerial duals per game (Who Scored).
He is also incredibly skilful.
The 25-year-old seems to be tailor made for the Premier League.
But considering the current global health crisis, it is debatable that West Ham will be able to afford £25 million for Azmoun. And the player might not be interested in joining a club who have battled relegation this season.
