West Ham are set to compete with Southampton for the signing of Hamburg winger Nicolai Muller.
According to Sport Bild, West Ham and Southampton are the only Premier League clubs interested, with a host of Bundesliga sides also in the race.
Wolfsburg and Schalke are both said to hold strong interest, as they also look to bolster their squads ahead of next season.
Hamburg want to keep Muller but could be pressured into selling if West Ham were to come in with a reasonable offer and the player makes them aware he wants the move.
Muller has one year left on his current contract at Hamburg, which could prompt the club to sell.
Bild claims that Hamburg would be willing to do business for a fee in the region of €8-10m.
Muller scored five goals and registered six assists in the Bundesliga last season for Hamburg.
The winger has been at the club for three years, since signing from fellow Bundesliga side Mainz.
