West Ham plan to make a bid for Senegalese midfielder Sadio Mane, according to reports.

The 20-year-old impressed whilst on Olympic duty for Senegal and caught the eye of British clubs when he played in the 1-1 draw against Stuart Pearce’s Great Britain.

The dynamic youngster is said to be available for a fee in the region of £2 million and would join new signing Alou Diarra and Mohamed Diame in the West Ham ranks.

Senegal made it to the quarter finals after impressing in the group stage.

As well as the point they picked up against Great Britain they also drew with the United Arab Emirates and beat one of the pre-tournament favourites Uruguay before being knocked out by Mexico in the last eight.
