West Ham, Crystal Palace and Southampton will go head-to-head for the signature of Nice striker, Alassane Pléa.
The reports are coming from French outlet, Le10 Sport, cited by Sport Witness, who claim Claude Puel is also interested in the forward, who he worked with last season.
The Hammers have held a long-standing interest in the player, who has scored 10 goals in 17 league appearances this season.
Playing alongside former Liverpool and Manchester City forward, Mario Balotelli, Plea has been crucial to the success Nice are having, as they sit top of Ligue 1.
West Ham are no light in the attacking depart with Jonathon Calleri expected to leave this month and Simeone Zaza departing from his loan spell in London.
Dimitri Payet is also expected to leave the club this January after telling the club of his desire to leave the London Stadium. The Frenchman has refused to play for West Ham as he sees his future elsewhere.
