After allowing Andriy Yarmolenko to leave on a free transfer, West Ham are looking for a new winger.
West Ham are apparently considering a £25 million approach for Ismaila Sarr, who was previously linked with Manchester United and Liverpool. Sarr has been a standout performer for Watford over the last three years, but with the club's relegation from the Premier League, he is set to leave Vicarage Road.
The winger is one of the Hornets' most valuable assets, but new manager Rob Edwards is planning a team revamp. Sarr's time at the club is coming to an end, as he was one of the few bright spots in the club's dreadful relegation campaign.
United and Liverpool have both expressed interest in signing the 24-year-old in the past, but no deal has been struck. West Ham have emerged as his main admirers, according to The Sunday Mirror.
The Hammers are set to 'cement up' their interest in the Senegal international, with Watford willing to sell for the 'appropriate price,' according to reports. West Ham are believed to be willing to pay a sum in the region of £25 million for the player.

Hammers manager David Moyes is looking for a successor for Andriy Yarmolenko, who was released from his contract at the London Stadium. They want a man who can play on the right side of midfield, where Sarr played in all but one of his games last season.
With his versatility, the Watford player is reported to 'meet the bill,' making him a notable target for Moyes. West Ham will be boosted in their pursuit of Sarr by comments from his former manager Claudio Ranieri, who praised the winger during his brief tenure at Watford.
The Hammers are considering a move for Watford midfielder Ismaila Sarr.
The Hammers are poised to make a bid for Watford midfielder Tom Cleverley.
"He is a jewel to me." He is a jewel, and I must collaborate with him in every way. I believe he is capable of great things. "I was informed there are so many jewels in France when I worked there, but it is vital to work with the basic football idea that exists in Europe," the Italian remarked.
"Ismaila is one of the players who can decide the match at any time." I don't want to instill more motivation in him; he's still young, and I don't want to overburden him. He must play in the manner in which he is accustomed."
