West Ham united are said to have made a move for the attacker.
According to Goal.com in France, West Ham United have made an £8.7million bid for Caen winger Yann Karamoh, with a decision on his future expected next week.
His current club are said to have put that price tag on his head ahead of a likely summer move, and both West Ham and German club RB Leipzig have reportedly matched it.
With just a year remaining on his current contract, Karamoh’s future looks to be away from the Lige 1 club and now he may have to decide whether to move to the Bundesliga or the Premier League.
West Ham fans are desperate for the club to make some quality attacking signings this summer but for now they are left fearing it could be a repeat of the 2016 summer window.
Karamoh is predominantly a right winger although he can also play up front if required, and while he is still only 18 he is fresh off the back of his breakthrough campaign in France.
The teenager featured 36 times for Caen last season, scoring five goals and providing four assists in the process, and were he to arrive at West Ham it would be interesting to see where Hammers manager Slaven Bilic used him.
Karamoh played all but six of his matches last season out wide, but it is through the middle where West Ham are in most need of additions.
He may not be the big-name signing Hammers fans are hoping for but at least the club are looking to kick on with their business ahead of a vital second season at the London Stadium.
