West Ham are said to have joined the race for Union Saint-Gilloise striker Mohamed Amoura.

The 23-year-old centre forward is wanted by a host of teams, including Newcastle, Wolves and Marseille.

Amoura has been impressing in the Belgian league, with L'Equipe stating that a move to a bigger team is very much on the cards.

The Hammers are said to have put in a £13 million offer to secure Amoura as soon as possible.

Incoming manager Julen Lopetegui has made signing forwards a priority for the club.

The Hammers have struggled on the goal front under manager David Moyes this term.
