France striker Alexandre Lacazette is emerging as a target for West Ham as Slaven Bilic looks to strengthen his squad this summer.

Lacazette, 24, has scored 18 goals in 31 matches for Lyon so far this season but is keen to move to the Premier League.

West Ham are currently sixth in the Premier League table having scored 57 goals - the sixth-highest in the division - but none of their strikers have reached double figures in the top flight this term.

Attacking midfielder Dimitri Payet and striker Andy Carroll are tied as the Hammers' top league scorers with nine, while midfielders Michail Antonio and Manuel Lanzini have each hit six goals.

Sources in France indicate that Tottenham are showing interest in Lacazette and his Lyon team-mate Samuel Umtiti.

Spurs signed both Hugo Lloris and Clinton Njie from Lyon in the past and played against Lacazette and Umtiti in a Europa League last-32 tie three years ago.

Lacazette has previously been linked with Arsenal, while the 24-year-old was also among the forward under consideration by Jose Mourinho before his sacking from Chelsea last December.

Marseille forward Michy Batshuayi is also firmly on the radar of the London rivals, but would favour a move to Tottenham over West Ham if both clubs bid for him this summer.

Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed that Spurs are monitoring Batshuayi, telling RMC Sport: "Michy's a young player who has a lot of talent. He is on the list of many clubs.

"We have quite a few people who have given us information about him. He has good potential. We'll see.

"We have other players in our sights too."
