West Ham have Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana on their list of potential targets to replace Declan Rice.
Rice completed his £105million move to Arsenal on Saturday leaving West Ham with a huge void to fill following the departure of their captain.
They have had talks over and made bids for a number of possible replacements including Fulham’s Joao Palhinha, Juventus’s Denis Zakaria and Ajax’s Edson Alvarez.
They also have interest in Manchester United’s Scott McTominay, Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse and Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips.
France international Fofana is another name under consideration.
