West Ham United are set to rival Trabzonspor and a club from China for Osmanlıspor midfielder Badou N’Diaye, claim FutbolArena in Turkey.
West Ham have been strongly linked with the Osmanlıspor player, but their bid of around €5.5m was rejected by Osmanlıspor chairman Ahmet Gökçek.
Trabzonspor have been tracking the Senegalese midfielder since the start of the season, but Osmanlıspor’s valuation is too high for Karadeniz Fırtınası.
Badou N’diaye was linked with a move to Crystal Palace when Alan Pardew was in charge, but after Sam Allardyce’s appointment their interest cooled.
FutbolArena report West Ham manager Slaven Bilic really likes N’Diaye and the Hammers could table another offer very soon. N’Diaye is also drawing attention from the Chinese Super League after an unnamed Chinese club offered €8m to Osmanlıspor, but like with West Ham’s bid this was rejected.
The 26-year old is currently on international duty with Senegal. N’Diaye signed for Osmanlıspor from Bodo Glimt for a fee around only €200K back in 2015 and has made a big impact since arriving in Turkey.
