FC Koln have put a £25m price tag on Anthony Modeste.
According to a report on talkSPORT, West Ham will have to spend big if they want to lure the striker to the London Stadium.
Modeste has scored 23 goals in 29 appearances after a journeyman career that included a brief spell at Blackburn Rovers.
Slaven Bilic has struggled for striking options this season and is keen to bring in more variety to his side’s play.
Andy Carroll looks like moving on in the summer with Modeste one of a number of options that have impressed Bilic.
At 29 years of age the Frenchman has hit a purple patch around goal but the price tag may be on the high side for West Ham.
Bilic is keen to get business completed early as he is given serious money in an attempt to find some consistency after a yo-yo first season at the London Stadium.
