According to a report by 90min, a West Ham United transfer update has come to light involving Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Adama Traore as they join the race to sign him.

The Lowdown: Moyes eyeing forward...

As is well known, West Ham boss David Moyes is eyeing new additions in the attacking areas as he aims to strengthen his side's chances of a top four finish.

An out-and-out striker is thought to be high on both his and recruitment chief Rob Newman's agenda this month though they have also been linked with wide players and attacking midfielders.

Indeed, the likes of Anwar El Ghazi, a natural winger, and Man United ace Jesse Lingard have been mentioned as news now emerges involving Traore.

The Latest: West Ham join race...

As per 90min, West Ham are now one of the club's eyeing a move for Traore with Wolves boss Bruno Lage now 'sanctioning' his exit from Molineux.

It is believed that Moyes and co are being 'kept informed' of the 25-year-old's situation with it looking more and more likely he could leave in January.

The Verdict: Get it done?

There is little arguing the Spain international is a major threat going forward when at his best and we believe West Ham should certainly consider a bid, especially considering his huge price drop.

As per 90min reporter Jude Summerfield, Traore's valuation has plummeted 'from £50m to around £22m after failed contract talks' - gifting West Ham a golden opportunity.

According to WhoScored, the Premier League ace has averaged a head-turning 4.5 dribbles per 90 in the top flight this campaign - far eclipsing that of any West Ham player.

He's also been called 'undefendable' by Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, perhaps pointing to a possible bargain at £22m.
