West Ham is preparing to sell Said Benrahma, who is interested in Fulham and Lyon.
The 28-year-old has become unhappy in recent weeks and David Moyes is ready to sell him if he can bring in a replacement.
The Hammers are said to want around £20m for the Algerian, who was left out of his country’s squad at AFCON last week.
However, the absence of Mohamed Kudus in Ghana and the injury to Lucas Paqueta could delay talks.
Benrahma has struggled for playing time at West Ham this season, having only played 12 times in the Premier League.
He has started only four of those games, scoring zero goals and one assist.
Meanwhile, West Ham are bidding for Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy, who can play on the left and in the centre of midfield.
Guirassy has a £15 million exit clause, so there is a lot of competition for his signature.
The Guinean striker, who counts Lille, Rennes and FC Koln among his former clubs, is having a stunning season in Germany.
The 27-year-old has scored 17 league goals in just 14 appearances, more than only England captain and Bayern Munich talisman Harry Kane (21 goals in 15 games).
Jarrod Bowen has played as Moyes’ central striker in recent weeks, while Danny Ings has continued to struggle for form since his move to the London Stadium last year.
Elsewhere, Michael Antonio is injured, while hot striker Divin Mubama is not yet fully trusted by the Scot.
