West Ham United are readying a bid for Clermont Foot striker Mohamed Bayo.

Le 10 Sport says West Ham have opened talks with Clermont for the 23 year-old attacker.

Clermot are reluctant to lose Bayo in January, though will sell if West Ham meet their €20m valuation.

However, they could push to have the 23 year-old loaned back to them for the remainder of the season.

The Irons are one of three Premier League clubs in contact with Clermont.
