West Ham are one of several Premier League clubs keeping tabs on US international Bobby Wood.

The 24-year-old striker, who hails from Honolulu, Hawaii currently plays for Hamburg in the Bundesliga - for whom he scored the winning goal in last weekend's 2-1 defeat Borussia Mönchengladbach.

And that game was watched by a representative from West Ham United - along with several other top flight scouts from the likes of Southampton, Everton and Liverpool.




Wood has spent the last nine years in Germany having moving to Europe in 2007 in order to join 1860 Munich - for whom he made his first team and Bundesliga debut in 2011. He has made 29 appearances for the USA since first appearing in 2013.

* Rather closer to home and West Ham are once again being linked with a move for Swansea's attacking midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson.

The 27-year-old Icelandic international was the target of interest from West Ham in January but remained with Swansea who are currently battling for their Premier League lives. However the Mirror suggests that West Ham will make a renewed effort to sign him in the summer.




* Lyon Technical Director Bruno Genesio has confirmed that former Hammers transfer target Rachid Ghezzal will be leaving the Ligue 1 side this summer.

Speaking on BeIn Sports' Football Show, Genesio said: " Rachid is at the end of his contract and is likely to leave us. There is a desire there to take an extra step." Everton and AC Milan have also expressed an interest in signing the 24-year-old Algerian winger.
