West Ham United are chasing Bordeaux defender Ludovic Sane.
The Mirror says Hammers boss Sam Allardyce is keen to strengthen and add more experience to his backline.
Sane, 26, has played over 60 games for the French club and has been one of their star performers.
The Senegal international fancies a move to the Premier League and reports in France claim he could leave the club after Friday night's French Cup Final clash with Evian.
