West Ham United have reportedly joined the race with Watford to sign Montpellier striker Steve Mounie.
West Bromwich Albion are said to also be interested in the 22-year-old and will now face big competition with The Hammers to secure the signature of the £13million striker, according to national reports.
Mounie played a big part in Montpellier’s season this year, scoring 14 goals as they finished 15th in Ligue 1.
The Benin international spent the season before last on loan at French second division side Nimes, finding the back of the net 11 times.
