West Ham is being closely watched in relation to their pursuit of the striker Terem Moffi from Lorient.
It is certain that the transfer of Moffi to West Ham in the January window will be concluded in the next four days.
An update on the Moffi situation was provided earlier this week on Hammers News.
Lorient has always favored selling Moffi to West Ham rather than their rivals, Nice.However, it is reported that Moffi prefers to join Nice.
Marseille also briefly became a contender to acquire Moffi, offering a player named Bamba Dieng as part of the deal.
Lorient had shown interest in Dieng, but only for a separate deal, as they still preferred to sell Moffi to West Ham.
Recently, Dieng failed his medical exam with Lorient, causing uncertainty about whether they would sell Moffi at all.
Despite recently signing another player, West Ham remains interested in acquiring Moffi, who is the second-highest scorer in Ligue 1.
Attention is now on West Ham following a telling move by Lorient in their negotiations over Moffi.
Lorient played and won a game against Rennes on Friday, but Moffi was not included in the squad.
The manager of Lorient previously admitted that Moffi had been affected by the transfer speculation and would be returning to training after recovering from a virus.
Lorient is protecting Moffi ahead of a potential sale, which is a sign that a transfer may be imminent with only a few days left in the window.
It is now up to West Ham and their manager David Moyes to convince Moffi to join their team, as Lorient is hesitant to sell to Nice, who cannot match their offer.
The situation is approaching a resolution, and it is hoped that West Ham will be able to successfully acquire Moffi, who would be a valuable addition to the team with his speed, power, and scoring abilities.
