1 Paris Saint-Germain's teenage star Jean-Kevin Augustin

West Ham are hoping to clinch the signing of Paris Saint-Germain’s teenage star Jean-Kevin Augustin for a nominal fee this month, according to reports in France.

Augustin is rated one of the best young strikers in League 1, but is out of contract at the end of the season and looks set to leave the club after failing to get a chance under Laurent Blanc.

Juventus, Roma, Benfica and Porto have all been linked with a move for the 17-year-old but Sam Allardyce could be in pole position to clinch his signature.

The east London club are determined to bring in the best young talent and could be willing to make a cut-price deal this month even though he will be available as a free agent during the summer.
