Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are reportedly battling to sign striker Laurent Depoitre from Gent.

The 27-year-old has 11 goals in 24 Belgian Pro League starts this season and is reportedly attracting interest from seven Premier League clubs.

According to the Daily Mirror, Leicester City, Southampton, Everton, Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion are all keen on the forward.

The 6ft 3in striker, who scored on his full international debut against Andorra in October, has just 16 months left on his contract which will reduce his market value.
