West Ham has put an offer in for Kelechi Iheanacho, according to reports.
It was gathered that an offer has been made for the 20-year-old striker as Slaven Bilic looks to bring more pace to his side.
Manchester City are said to have valued the Nigeria international at £20 million and West Ham are willing to meet that fee.
Iheanacho officially signed for the club’s academy in 2015 and made his first team debut later that year, coming off the bench to score a last minute winner against Crystal Palace.
But he found himself behind Wilfried Bony in the pecking order under Manuel Pellegrini, and found opportunities limited when Pep Guardiola brought Gabriel Jesus into the squad.
