Due to his amazing performance this season, top European clubs continue to show interest in Nigeria’s Super Eagles and FC Lorient forward Terem Moffi.
French Ligue one side OGC Nice have joined the race for Moffi after agreeing to sell former Wigan striker Andy Delort to fellow Ligue 1 side Nantes.
Both West Ham and Southampton are understood to have had bids rejected last week by Lorient for the Nigerian international centre-forward, who has scored 11 goals in 17 top-flight matches this season in France.
The two Premier League clubs remain in talks over a deal with Lorient continuing to demand £25m for their talisman.
