West Ham United will have to splash as much as £25million to secure the services of Anthony Modeste, according to reports in Germany.

French striker Modeste has been in sensational form for Koln this season, scoring 23 goals in 29 Bundesliga appearances and as a result, the 29-year-old has managed to attract the interest from a host of clubs across Europe.

West Ham have been mentioned as a team very keen on signing Modeste but according to reports, the Hammers will have to spend big to the tune of £25m to be able to tempt Koln into parting with their star attacker.
