West Ham United to bid for Nice winger Allan Saint-Maximin?

Nice winger Allan Saint-Maximin has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for West Ham United.

New Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini is looking to push forward with his business during the summer window and the Chilean has seemingly identified a new wideman as a possible arrival.

According to The Sun, the Premier League outfit are considering launching an £18m offer for France Under-21 international Saint-Maximin.

The 21-year-old has just spent the most recent campaign in the first team at the Ligue 1 club, with three goals coming from 30 outings in France's top flight.

Maximin still has two years remaining on his current contract, but Nice may consider a big-money approach for a player who remains relatively inexperienced.
