West Ham United, Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion are all interested in signing Serhou Guirassy, with Foot Mercato reporting that Amiens are hoping to sell him to an English club this summer.

Guirassy is attracting attention after an impressive year in Ligue 1 last year. He scored nine goals in 23 games as his side were relegated.

He has already opened his account for the new campaign. But it now appears that he could be on the move.

Foot Mercato reports that the Hammers, Eagles and Baggies all want the 24-year-old. Meanwhile, Chelsea are also reportedly interested in the forward.

However, it appears that the English quartet may have some work to do. Foot Mercato notes that Guirassy had his heart set on a move to Rennes.

The report suggests that he is holding out hope of a move to his preferred destination. But Amiens are reportedly keen to sell him to an English side for a fee in the region of £18 million.

TBR View: Guirassy stance may leave Premier League admirers wary

Rennes secured a spot in Europe ahead of this season. So you could understand why Guirassy is keen for the chance to move there this summer.

But it may perhaps leave his Premier League admirers somewhat wary of stepping up their interest.

They will want Guirassy to hit the ground running if they are going to meet his £18 million asking price. And it may be slightly harder for the attacker to do that if he is joining a club which was not his preferred option.
