West Ham United could sign Habib Diallo from RC Strasbourg for around €20 million in the summer transfer window.
According to L’Equipe, Habib Diallo is firmly on the radar of West Ham this summer, but we could face competition from the likes of Burnley and Brentford for his signature.

Hammers manager David Moyes will definitely be on the look-out for a new striker this summer with the likes of Gianluca Scamacca, Michail Antonio and Danny Ings all facing uncertain futures at the London Stadium.
And it seems as though Diallo could be an option for West Ham…
West Ham could now sign Habib Diallo for £17 million
L’Equipe claim that the 18-capped Senegal international could join the Hammers this summer.
The 28-year-old was in fine form this season. He scored 20 goals in 37 Ligue 1 outings, and has netted 41 goals in 103 career appearances for Strasbourg (Transfermarkt).
His career record for his previous club Metz is very impressive, with 48 goals and 14 assists in 116 games to his name (Transfermarkt).
Diallo can play anywhere along the front-line. And that kind of versatility could prove to be a real bonus for West Ham.
He is great in the air, talented with the ball at his feet, quick along the ground and is a very hard worker.
£17 million for Habib Diallo sounds like decent value to me, although I can’t help but feel that Moyes should be more ambitious.
The Hammers should be setting our sights a lot higher, with Europa League football to play next season. And I’m not quite sure that Diallo would take us to the next level.
