It wouldn’t be a transfer window if West Ham were not linked with a move for FC Porto striker Moussa Marega.
And according to French outlet Foot Mercato, the Hammers, along with London rivals Tottenham, have both had a loan approach knocked back for the 28-year-old.
The report claims that Marseille, Napoli, and an unnamed Chinese side are also keen on the forward.
However, when the news reached several Spurs supporters, they weren’t so pleased regarding a move for Marega.
The Hammers were linked with a swoop for the powerful striker over the summer, with the club eventually adding Sebastien Haller to their ranks in a club-record deal.
But it now seems as if the club are keen on adding to their attacking ranks before the window slams shut on Friday.
The recent report claims that Porto still want around €30 million for the forward, who has scored five league goals in 14 appearances this season.
