Lorient are making a move for West Ham United goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.
French media sources say Lorient see Areola as cover for Yvon Mvogo, who is out for the season due to injury.
Lorient have approached West Ham about taking Areola on-loan to the end of the season.
Areola has played just two Premier League and six Conference games for the Hammers this season.
A return to Ligue 1 would see Areola get himself back in front of France coach Didier Deschamps.
