Montpellier President Laurent Nicollin has confirmed that West Ham United are indeed keen on signing French forward Gaetan Laborde before the end of the January transfer window.
However, he insists that the Hammers are yet to table a formal offer for the 26-year-old.
Manager David Moyes wants a new striker following the departure of Sebastien Haller, and he has confirmed that the club are scouring the market in order to land one in the coming days.
West Ham are said to be considering a £16 million deal to sign Laborde, and while Montpellier are expected to listen to offers, it doesn’t appear that any has been tabled.
