West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini is chasing Nice winger Allan Saint-Maximin.

The Sun says the Hammers are considering a move for £18million Nice winger Saint-Maximin.

The France under-21 international impressed last season, scoring five goals in 40 games and creating nine more to help his modest club finish eighth in Ligue 1.

New Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini is now weighing up a swoop for Saint-Maximin, with Manuel Lanzini set to miss most of next season with a cruciate knee injury.

Lazio ace Felipe Anderson is another target, but he would command a fee of around £34m.

Saint-Maximin, under contract with Nice until 2020, would cost around half that amount.
