West Ham have joined the race for Nancy frontman Marc-Antoine Fortune and could pip Celtic and Hull City to the striker's signature.
Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola is keen to improve his strike force and sees Fortune, who spent the end of last season on loan at West Brom, as the man who could do that.
The 27-year-old is valued at around the £3million mark and both Hull and Celtic are thought to have had offers agreed by the French side, but Zola is now ready to step in and make his own move.
Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers are also said to be keeping a close eye on the former Utrecht player.
