West Ham and Crystal Palace are both eyeing a late move for Olympique Marseille striker Bamba Dieng with the French club willing to let him go in the January transfer window.

The two Premier League clubs have enquired about the 21-year-old attacker, according to RMC Sport.

The Ligue 1 side are now in a position where they need to sell, and Dieng could now leave Marseille for €10m (£8m) this month, in order to help the French side balance the books.
