West Ham United are targeting PSG forward Hugo Ekitike according to reports in France. The Hammers consider a striker to be a priority, and have asked about Ekitike on loan.
Tim Steidten had previously recommended Elye Wahi from Montpellier, but has now set his sights the Paris Saint-Germain striker.
A transfer to The London Stadium could see the 21-year-old get his career back on track. He has struggled for regular game time since his move from Stade de Reims last year. West Ham were linked with the forward last year, and were set to battle it out with Newcastle for his signature.
Ekitike has barely featured for his club since signing. Ironically the player was recruited following PSG losing out to West Ham for Gianluca Scamacca.
The Irons are expected to table an initial loan bid with an option to buy for around £30 million. West Ham face competition from Everton AC Milan, Eintracht Frankfurt and Lyon who are also keen to sign Ekitike.
