West Ham United have joined the likes of Chelsea and Napoli in the race to sign Jean-Michael Seri from OGC Nice.
Sky Sports claim that the Hammers are interested in the Ivorian midfielder, who looks set to leave the French side this summer.
The player’s agent is said to be in talks with Napoli over a deal, while Chelsea are thought to be keen.
Seri, who is valued at roughly £35 million, is said to be put off by the managerial uncertainty at Stamford Bridge, but a move to the Premier League would appeal to the player.
The midfielder is highly thought of in Europe and was close to joining Barcelona last summer.
The Catalan side were keen to snap him up from Nice, but the deal fell through at the last minute with the Ligue 1 outfit refusing to sell.
Should West Ham complete a deal for Seri, he would be the next in line of what appears to be an impressive summer transfer window, with the likes of Lukasz Fabiański and Issa Diop joining the club.
