# West Ham interested in Dabo, Pied

West Ham are being linked with a move for Montpellier midfielder Bryan Dabo, who is also a reported target for the likes of Saint-Etienne, Marseille, Bordeaux, Nice and Swansea.

According to [reports from France](https://www.butfootballclub.fr/ligue-1/saint-etienne/asse-mercato-une-grosse-concurrence-sur-tous-les-dossiers-chauds/), The Hammers are just one of several clubs weighing up a move for the defensive midfielder who can also fill in at centre-half and at right-back.

The 24-year-old has previous experience playing football in England having spent six months on loan with Blackburn in the second half of the 2013/14 season, but has spent his entire career on the books with the Ligue 1 side.

Saint-Etienne were linked with a €3m move for Dabo in January but pulled out, but a strong second half of the season for the player has resulted in a wider-spread interest.

The former France U21 international is also eligible to play for Mali, but is yet to receive a full international cap.

The same report has also credited the Hammers with interest in free agent full-back Jeremy Pied.

It was reportedly a while back that the Hammers have made an offer for the former Nice fullback which remains on the table, but he is also wanted by Saint-Etienne and Sunderland.

All three clubs have made an offer for the right-back, who can also play right midfield.
