M'Baye Niang has emerged on the radar of West Ham United.

According to Italian publication CalcioMercato, the Hammers have turned their attentions to the AC Milan striker as they continue their search for a quality forward.

The East London club are determined to lure a big-name attacker this summer as they prepare for their move to the Olympic Stadium, but so far have failed to see a bid accepted.

West Ham have been in pursuit of Milan's Carlos Bacca but have now dropped their interest in the Colombian and will focus on Niang instead.

The 21-year-old Frenchman would cost around £11million.

Additionally, Gazzetta dello Sport suggests Niang has been placed on the transfer list by the Rossoneri after being caught driving without license and also being involved in a car accident in February.
