West Ham eye Forest's Sangare as additional midfield signing
Latest from Sky Sports News' Lyall Thomas and Christopher Reidy:
West Ham are looking to sign more than one new midfielder and are believed to have approached Nottingham Forest about Ibrahim Sangare.
The idea is an initial loan that could become an obligation to buy if certain thresholds are met.
They have also agreed on a fee for Monaco’s Soungoutou Magassa, but there is still work to do on the deal.
There are also still other clubs that want to sign the player and may yet agree something with Monaco.
West Ham also have interest other defensive midfielders including Strasbourg’s Junior Mwanga and Middlesbrough’s Hayden Hackney.
At the same time, the Hammers are also exploring a deal to sign a more attacking midfielder in Werder Bremen's Romano Schmid before Deadline Day.
West Ham have had a bad start, shipping eight goals in two defeats to Sunderland and Chelsea.
