# West Ham target Bamba hoping for quick conclusion on future

West Ham have long been linked with a move for Jonathan Bamba and it seems they will have as good a chance as any to sign the player in the summer.

Bamba’s contract at Saint-Etienne expires at the end of the season and the attacker is not keen on extending, by the looks of things. The young forward is primed for a move away this summer and West Ham have been touted as a potential destination for the France Under-21 international.

Competition is likely to be fierce over Bamba’s signature on a free transfer this summer but, speaking to [Goal in France](https://www.goal.com/fr/news/equipe-de-france-espoirs-jonathan-bamba-on-va-tout-faire-pour-se-/k6fzmz87vlhc1ov96y22139br), the 21-year-old confessed that no decision has been made yet over his future ahead of next season.

> It’s still not sorted. I’m waiting and I hope that it will sort itself out soon.

The Hammers have been linked with a move for Bamba and reports have even indicated that they have previously made a move to land the versatile front-man.

They’ll have to fend off competition from Crystal Palace, though, with the Eagles also cited with interest in Bamba.
