Reims striker Boulaye Dia has dropped Arsenal's name when discussing his future.

Dia's agent has declared an offer is in front of him from West Ham United this month.

However, when asked about his options, the striker said yesterday: "Who do I prefer between Arsenal and Olympique de Marseille? I don't have a preference, sorry.

"There were contacts. It's true that Marseille would have been an interesting project.

"There were contacts, but it didn't really go very far."

West Ham are expected to offer €10m for Dia in the coming days.
