Bournemouth are challenging West Ham United for Lorient striker Terem Moffi.
Bournemouth, owned by Bill Foley who also has a stake in Lorient, are interested after they already agreed a £20million fee for winger Dango Ouattara from the French club, says the Daily Mail.
However, both Premier League sides face stiff competition in the form of Nice who are also interested in Moffi.
It was previously reported that the Hammers have held talks over a potential £25m deal for Moffi.
The proposal is understood to be £20m with a further £5m in add-ons for Moffi, a Nigeria international, who has scored 12 goals in 18 games this season.
