West Ham are reported to have made enquiries into the availability of Nice striker Mario Balotelli.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport writer Carlo Laudisa, West Ham are attempting to lure Balotelli to London despite strong interest from fellow Ligue 1 side Marseille.

The Italian striker is currently out of favour at Nice following a disagreement with manager Patrick Vieira last month.

With his contract set to expire this summer anyway, Les Aiglons are prepared to allow Balotelli, 28m to leave the Allianz Riviera on a free during the current transfer window.

Les Olympiens had all but sealed the deal to sign Balotelli earlier in the week - however West Ham's late interest, with the club reported to be offering improved terms, has put that deal in serious jeopardy.

We'll have more for you on this one as it happens...
