West Ham are planning a move for VfB Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy.
BILD says West Ham has entered the tug of war for Guirassy's signature.
The London club are said to be ready to activate the 17.5m buyout clause in the player's contract next month.
Guirassy has always dreamed of playing in the Premier League. However, West Ham have stiff competition in the hunt for the 27-year-old.
Guirassy joined Stuttgart from French side Rennes in the summer of 2022, initially on loan. He has a contract until 2026.
