West Ham 'are in talks to sign Reims striker Hugo Ekitike with Toulouse forward Rhys Healey also emerging as a cheaper option' with David Moyes looking to bolster striking options before transfer window closes

West Ham's search for a striker may be coming to a close as they draw in on the signing of teenager Hugo Ekitike.

David Moyes has been in the market for a striker to support Michail Antonio and said last week that he hoped the club's two-year search was almost over.

The 19-year-old Ekitike plays for Reims in Ligue 1 having coming through the club's youth academy and has scored just two fewer league goals than Kylian Mbappe this season at eight.
