West Ham have reportedly made an offer for Leeds United winger Max Gradel.

The Hammers are believed to head the queue of clubs, including Premiership new boys Swansea City, interested in signing the Ivory Coast international.

Gradel scored 18 goals for United last season which earned him their player of the season award. The 23-year-old's contract runs out next summer and the Yorkshire club could be prepared to cash in on the attacker.

West Ham recently signed Kevin Nolan from Newcastle United and are looking to strengthen their squad as they look to mount a promotion challenge in the Championship next season.
