West Ham United are interested in Reims striker Boulaye Dia, according to The Athletic.
It has been reported that West Ham have scouted Dia.
Other clubs in England are also claimed to have scouted the Senegal international striker.
French club Reims might reportedly decide to sell the 24-year-old in the summer transfer window.
Boulaye Dia Stats
Dia has been on the books of Reims since 2018 and has done relatively well for the French club.
The Senegalese scored 14 goals and gave one assist in 35 Ligue 1 games last season.
The 24-year-old also scored twice in one Coupe de France match in 2020-21.
However, according to The Athletic, the striker only scored two goals in his last 19 league games.
Premier League dream
Dia has spoken about his desire to play in the Premier League before.
The striker told Progress in February 2021, as translated by HITC Sport at the time: “The Premier League attracts me – but it attracts everyone.
“It is a championship I would like to discover, one of the best in the world. If I have the opportunity to play there, it will be a reward for me.”
West Ham transfer this summer?
David Moyes’s West Ham need to sign a new striker this summer.
Sebastien Haller has to be replaced by the Hammers.
West Ham simply cannot rely on just Michail Antonio, who is not a natural striker.
Moreover, West Ham will play in the Europa League next season as well.
