West Ham United are moving for Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri.

Seri is expected to leave Nice this summer and has been linked with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United.

However, TMW says it is West Ham which are now closest to landing the midfielder, with negotiations at an advanced stage.

Napoli are also keen, but intermediaries have warned it is West Ham which head the queue.

Seri was set to sign for Barcelona last August, only for the deal to fall through in the final days of the market.
