West Ham United and Burnley are reportedly keen on Amiens forward Moussa Konate.
According to France Football, Burnley and West Ham United are fighting for the signature of Amiens striker Moussa Konate, who is valued at around €15million (£13million).
The Hammers tied up a second summer signing earlier today, as Toulouse defender Issa Diop arrived, joining Ryan Fredericks at the London Stadium following his move from Fulham.
West Ham may not be done shopping in France just yet though, with Manuel Pellegrini’s men still keen to add another striker, and one in Ligue 1 may be on their wish list.
France Football report that Amiens striker Moussa Konate is not only wanted by West Ham, but also by Premier League rivals Burnley, who will be in the Europa League qualifiers this summer.
The 25-year-old joined Amiens from Swiss side Sion last summer having hit 50 goals in 115 games, and he has impressed in France too, scoring 14 goals in all competitions for Amiens.
A former 2012 Olympic Games star with Senegal, Konate is currently at the World Cup with his country, and came off the bench to play a part in today’s 2-1 win over Poland.
Amiens are believed to want around €15million (£13million) for Konate, and he could be heading to England this summer as Burnley and West Ham fight over his signature.
An exciting striker with blistering pace and composure in front of goal, Konate could be a dangerous forward in the Premier League, and he also has versatility to play out wide, meaning it’s no surprise that teams are interested after such a strong season.
