The Sun say West Ham are interested in highly-rated Celtic youngster Anthony Ralston.

The 18-year-old right-back has impressed since breaking into Celtic’s first team and several clubs are said to be keeping tabs on him.

The Sun reckon those clubs include West Ham and that scouts have been sent to Scotland to watch him in action.

West Ham are selling Diafra Sakho to French club Rennes, according to reports.

The Senegalese striker is on his way out of the London Stadium in a deal worth £9m, The Sun reported on Wednesday.

He is apparently expected to agree personal terms and complete the move ahead of Thursday’s deadline.

Sky Sports News have followed that up by reporting that Sakho has completed a medical and is set to finalise the move.

However, posting on Twitter in response, co-chairman David Sullivan’s son Jack appeared to suggest that Sakho will in fact be staying.

Meanwhile, The Daily Mirror say Monaco could make a move for West Ham target William Carvalho.

The Hammers have been in negotiations with Sporting Lisbon in an attempt to agree a deal to sign the Portugal international ahead of the deadline.
