West Ham have launched a major bid for Nice striker Alassane Plea.

Sky Sports says West Ham have made a £27m bid for Plea with three other Premier League clubs also interested.

Newcastle, Fulham and Tottenham are all on the hunt for the services of the 25-year-old French striker, who scored 20 goals last season.

It is understood the French club are wanting 30m euros (£26.6m) with one other club having already made an offer of £25m.

Plea began his career at Lyon before moving to Nice in August 2014.
