West Ham United are looking to bolster their attacking division in the winter market and FC Lorient star Terem Moffi is identified as one of their targets.
On Monday, journalist Ignazio Genuardi stated the Hammers have seen their first bid of €20m rejected by the Ligue 1 side. He had also said the English club are expected to return with an improved offer.
Apart from West Ham, OGC Nice are also in the picture to sign the striker this month. This information is provided by Genuardi, who again took to Twitter to provide an update.
He explains David Moyes’ side are ready to go to around €30m including bonuses to secure the Nigeria international’s services in January, as the Hammers remain ‘hot’ on the player.
Pour arracher la signature du Lorientais #Moffi, qui est aussi courtisé par Nice, #West #Ham est prêt à monter autour de 30 M€ (bonus compris). Avec un Antonio sur le départ, les Hammers sont chauds, même s’il faudra voir la position d’un #FCL qui perd déjà D.Ouattara. #Mercato

Another journalist, Mohamed Toubache-Ter , states Moffi’s representatives are ‘doing their utmost’ to take the player to Nice, despite Lorient’s reluctance. Toubache-Ter doesn’t have any information on the Premier League side.
Moffi has scored 12 goals from 18 league matches this season.
