West Ham are reportedly in concrete discussions with teenager Bilel Hassaini over a move to the London Stadium this summer.
Hassaini is a free agent after his youth contract with Ligue 2 outfit AS Nancy expired earlier this month, and according to Get French Football News, the 18-year-old is in talks with the Hammers.
Interest in the attacking midfielder is said to be high, however, and Manuel Pellegrini could face competition from the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool in the pursuit of the teenager.
West Ham, though, are currently said to be the only side in concrete talks with Hassaini over a move, and the Hammers would have to pay Nancy a six-figure sum as a solidarity payment should they complete the signing of the French Under-17 international.
The 18-year-old came through the ranks at Nancy but failed to break into the senior side, though the midfielder has made 26 appearances for France at youth level.
