AC Milan forward, M’Baye Niang is reportedly keen to play in the Premier League but does not want to move to the London Stadium.
Italian outlet, Gazzetta claim that the Hammers hold an interest in signing the Frenchman, but the interest isn’t mutual.
Niang has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Manchester United and Everton previously muted as possible destinations for the 22-year-old.
The report suggests that Milan, who are set to be taken over will not sell the Frenchman during his transfer window after selling Luiz Adriano.
Niang has scored three goals this season and set up another two for Milan, who sit fifth in the Serie A table.
The AC Milan forward rejected the chance to join Premier League champions, Leicester in the summer as he did not want to be second-choice, which may have put him off joining West Ham.
The Hammers are in the market for a forward as they look for an alternative source of goals this season.
