West Ham United want M'Baye Niang on loan

West Ham United are reportedly keen on landing AC Milan forward M'Baye Niang on a loan deal this summer.

The Hammers boss Sam Allardyce is believed to be a huge admirer of the 19-year-old's talents and is now ready to pursue his services on a temporary basis.

Niang, who spent half of the previous season on loan at French outfit Montpellier, is understood to be open to a switch to the English top tier, be it on a short-term deal.

Rossoneri are asking for a fee of around £250,000 for the French under-21 international, with the Hammers likely to have the option to make the move permanent for £4m next summer.

 

Niang notched up four goals in 19 games for Montpellier during his loan spell.
