West Ham United are moving for Montpellier attacker Gaetan Laborde.

France Football says West Ham are preparing to table an offer to Montpellier for Laborde, 26.

The Londoners have been watching the striker for an extended spell and are ready to bid a few days before the end of the transfer market.

Under contract until June 2023, the Montpellier striker has made a good start to the season with two goals and four assists in five league appearances.

And it is the Hammers which are now leading the race for his signing.
