West Ham United will focus their attention on Christian Benteke after having a bid for Alexandre Lacazette rejected.

According to The Sun, the Hammers saw an offer of £31million for the French striker turned down by Lyon which has prompted them to make Liverpool's Benteke their prime attacking target this summer.

Belgium international Benteke joined the Reds from Aston Villa for £32.5m last summer but has scored just 10 goals in 41 outings for the Merseyside club and could be offloaded at the end of the season.

West Ham are determined to lure some tracking quality to East London as they get set to move into the Olympic Stadium but have already had proposals for Lacazette and Bournemouth pair Callum Wilson and Matt Ritchie rebuffed while Marseille's Michy Batshuayi is keen on a move to a Champions League club.
