West Ham, three others linked with £9m Majeed Waris

West Ham are reportedly interested in signing Abdul Majeed Waris from Lorient this summer.

According to a report from the Daily Mail today, the Hammers are among a host of teams interested in landing the striker, with his stock seemingly growing ahead of the upcoming campaign.
