Hammers hot on trail of Ritchie

West Ham United are set to lodge a fresh attempt to sign Bournemouth attacker Matt Ritchie. The Hammers failed with a joint bid for Ritchie and striker Callum Wilson last month.

According to The Telegraph, the East London outfit have not given up on the Scotland international and are hopeful that a second bid of around £8m plus add-ons would be sufficient to lure the Cherries into the player's sale.

Ritchie, 26, appeared in all but one league game for his side as they retained their Premier League status against the odds. 

The winger has earned 10 caps with his national side till date.
