West Ham join battle for Man City striker Kelechi Iheanacho

West Ham are joining the battle for Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho.

The London Evening Standard says the Hammers are prioritising attacking players this summer and are also weighing up a move for Chelsea's Michy Batshuayi and retain an interest in Sunderland veteran Jermain Defoe, who they tried to sign for £6million in January.

Nigeria international Iheanacho is under contract until 2021 but City are prepared to listen to offers of around £20m, to help finance their spending plans for the summer.

He has scored four goals and made three assists, despite completing only one full game.
