The Hammers and Nice are the two the clubs interested in the Nigeria international who has 12 goals in 18 Ligue 1 games this season.

The player is keen on joining Nice, as he wants to continue his development in France, but West Ham retained their interest.

Moffi has been a revelation since he arrived the club from Kortrijk two years ago. He has netted 35 goals in 90 games for the club.

The 23-year-old forward has eighteen months left on his contract with Les Merlus.
