Report: West Ham United keen on Lyon striker Bertrand Traore

According to Foot Mercato, West Ham United have contacted the representatives of Lyon striker Bertrand Traore over a move this month.

Bournemouth and Leicester City are also interested in the former Chelsea forward, and it remains to be seen if the Ligue 1 outfit will let him leave in the coming days.

Lyon value Traore around £35 million, and West Ham will have to part with something to have a chance of getting their man.

Hammers boss David Moyes wants to boost his attacking ranks this month with the club in a fight to beat the drop, and while he hasn’t been particularly in impressive form for Lyon this term, the Burkina Faso international could come do a fine job as he has unfinished business in the Premier League.
