West Ham are believed to maintain an interest in Lille forward Jonathan Bamba as the deadline draws ever closer.
The Hammers have been busy on the final day of the window, signing Nikola Vlasic and seemingly edging towards the capture of Alex Kral from Spartak Moscow.
David Moyes could still be in the market for a recognised striker in the final hours and Bamba has been mentioned as a possible target.
That’s according to an update from reputable club insider ExWHUemployee this afternoon and Sky Sports, as cited by West Ham Fan Zone on Twitter.

The 25-year-old Frenchman has earned 19-caps at Under 21 level and was part of the Lille side that lifted the Ligue 1 title last term.
Last season the versatile forward scored six and assisted 11 other goals in 38 league outings – earning an impressive 6.94 average Sofascore rating in the process.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Valued at £22.5million and under contract until 2023 in France (Transfermarkt), signing Bamba late in the day would represent another expensive outlay for the club.
Capable of operating across the frontline, the addition would suitably strengthen the attacking options at Moyes’ disposal.
Possessing an abundance of attacking attributes, Hammers fans would certainly allow themselves to get excited should any deal materialise in the coming hours.
