West Ham United will reportedly need to spend €30m if they are to recruit Alassane Plea from OGC Nice this summer.
The Hammers have been linked for some time now and according to claims from Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol, they are in a four-team race for Plea’s signature ahead of next season.

It’s claimed that potential suitors will be forced to part with a club-record fee of €30m, though, if they are to lure Plea away from Nice, as a summer departure from France appears to be on the cards.
Plea enjoyed a strong season under Lucien Favre last term, putting his previous injury woes behind him to net an impressive total of 20 goals in all competitions.
West Ham want to sign attacking firepower this summer and Plea, who has been linked for some months now, appears to be a target of Manuel Pellegrini’s as he prepares for his first campaign at the London Stadium.
