West Ham are reportedly ‘closely following’ the contract situation regarding Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette.
The Hammers have been named alongside Everton as one of a number of Premier League clubs monitoring the Frenchman.
Irons’ boss David Moyes is likely to enter the market for a forward in order to support Michail Antonio.
According to a report from French outlet Jeunes Footeux, as cited by AllArsenalEverything on Twitter, claiming the 30-year-old is of major interest.
The report claims that the 16-cap ace is unlikely to stay at the Emirates Stadium beyond the end of the season.
So far this season Lacazette has scored three times in five appearances across all competitions – only playing 72 minutes in the Premier League.

Valued at £19.8million and out of contract in eight months (Transfermarkt), an opportunity could present itself as soon as January for a bargain deal.
Despite a lack of minutes this term, Lacazette has continued to produce at pivotal moments for the Gunners and 197 goal career can’t be ignored.
Albeit perhaps not the well rounded, full of running striker Moyes would choose to operate with, the possibility of signing a top-class operator shouldn’t be overlooked.
