West Ham United have lodged an offer of £10m bid for Lorient forward Alexis Claude-Maurice, according to Sky Sports.

20-year-old Claude-Maurice scored 14 goals in 35 appearances for Lorient last season in Ligue 2.

Arsenal have been linked with the France international recently, but it is West Ham who have now shown solid interest.

With Lorient missing out on promotion, it is widely expected that Claude-Maurice will look to play at a higher level next season.
