West Ham have reportedly placed a £20million bid for Celtic striker Moussa Dembele.
A column run on the West Ham United official website said the bid, which would be close to the all-time transfer record fee for the club, has been placed for ‘a player from Scotland’.
As the English Premier League side push for a top ten finish, it is understood they see the centre forward as the ideal man to help meet their ambitions.
An offer for Jermain Defoe has already been knocked back by Sunderland boss David Moyes.
The Celtic striker has scored 19 goals so far this season and bosses at the Glasgow club have already said he is not for sale.
