According to a report in L’Equipe, Toulouse striker Martin Braithwaite is on both West Ham United’s and Southampton’s wish lists this summer.

Braithwaite has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, with English clubs taking note of his form this season.

Braithwaite has netted 11 goals in 34 Ligue 1 matches, and his power and pace have caught the eye.

So far Toulouse have rejected all interest in the striker, but they realise they face a fight to keep hold of the 25-year-old this summer.
