West Ham monitoring French forward

West Ham United are reportedly chasing Ligue 1 star Wissam Ben Yedder.

It is thought that the Premier League club are monitoring the Toulouse striker, with manager Slaven Bilic eager to bolster his attacking options before the close of the transfer window on September 1.

The 25-year-old, who is of Tunisian descent, scored 15 goals in 38 appearances in all competitions for the French outfit last season.

With Ben Yedder available for around £6m this summer; boss Bilic sees the former France Under-21 international as a like-for-like replacement for Enner Valencia, who has been ruled through injury with ligament damage.
