West Ham are reportedly interested in making a move for PSG full-back Abdou Diallo.
The Hammers are looking for additional left-back cover following a prolonged spell on the sidelines for first-choice option Aaron Cresswell.
Having been linked with an attempt to bring Everton star Lucas Digne to the London Stadium in recent days, Diallo is the latest name in the mix.
According to a report from L’Equipe, as cited by Cerfia Foot on Twitter, the Irons are keen on the 25-year-old.

Translated, the Tweet claims that the East London club have ‘studied the profile’ of the seven-cap Senegal ace but ‘no offer has been made’ at present.
This season Diallo has provided one assist in 13 appearances across all competitions for the Ligue 1 pacesetters.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Signed from Borussia Dortmund in 2019 for £26million (ESPN), the French-born defender would likely be an expensive capture.
Valued at £22.5million and under contract in Paris until 2024 (Transfermarkt), PSG would still demand a premium for their asset.
Already a multi trophy winner, Diallo possesses all the attributes to challenge Cresswell for a starting berth in David Moyes’ side.
