West Ham are chasing FC Koln striker Anthony Modeste.

Germany's Express reports both the Hammers and Olympique Marseille are in talks with Koln for Modeste.

The Bundesliga club are prepared to sell, but not on the cheap.

Their interest has been confirmed by sports director Jörg Schmadtke, who stated: "Maybe they all talk to the player first - I do not know. Here no one has ever imagined (selling)."

However, it's suggested with interest growing, Koln believe they can raise €30 million from Modeste's sale.
