Avram Grant see’s the 23-year-old as his preferred front-man and despite reported interest from Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Turkish side Fenerbache, a move to East London may well be on the cards.
It is believed the Hammers have met Nice’s asking price of around £12 million, however personal terms may well be the sticking point to any deal.
Nice chairman Gilbert Stellardo told lequipe.fr, “West Ham? Remy is definitely interested,"
"Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal? I have heard about their interest but I have had no contact.
“The only clubs I have talked to are West Ham and Fenerbahce.”
