West Ham United are reportedly keen on Davie Selke.
According to SportBILD, West Ham United are interested in signing Hertha Berlin striker Davie Selke – but face competition from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion.
Selke, 23, made his name with Werder Bremen, but made the surprise decision to drop into the second tier with RB Leipzig after 10 goals in 33 games for the Bundesliga side.
The 6ft 3in striker failed to really impress with Leipzig, scoring just 14 times in 53 games, before being sold on to Hertha Berlin last summer in a move which has certainly paid off.
Selke has scored 12 times in all competitions this season, an impressive tally given that he has only started 20 games for Hertha, and his displays appear to be attracting interest.
SportBILD report that West Ham United are keen to land Selke this summer, but face a battle with Brighton and Hove Albion for his signature.
The Hammers may have added Jordan Hugill in January, but with no starts since his deadline day move from Preston North End, it would be little surprise to see them move for another striker.
Brighton had great success in the German market with the signing of Pascal Gross last summer, and could return for Selke – though it would be a little bit of a surprise given that they signed both Jurgen Locadia and Leonardo Ulloa in January.
